DORIS DAY
Inscribed record album cover, the soundtrack LP for Love Me or Leave Me
Record Album Cover inscribed and signed: "For Cindy's Folks/with love/Doris Day", 12½x12½ Columbia Records album LP record for Love Me or Leave Me, a screen musical co-starring Day and Jimmy Cagney (1955). Signed on front cover picture of Day performing. Record Included. Known for her wholesome, "girl-next-door" good looks and sparkling personality, "America's Sweetheart" was one of the most popular and highest paid actresses by the early 1950s. After her would-be dancing career was sidelined by an accident, Day had turned to singing, first touring with bands and then introducing hit after hit in a string of romantic comedies. Nominated for an Academy Award for Pillow Talk (1959), she also brightened up the silver screen opposite such romantic leading men as Rock Hudson and Cary Grant. Her singing career was just as hot as her acting career, and her hit from the movie The Man Who Knew Too Much, "Que Sera, Sera", won an Oscar. In 1987, she established the Doris Day Animal League to lobby for legislation benefiting animals.  Doris Day won plaudits in Love Me or Leave Me, playing against type as a calculating show girl benefiting from the largesse of her gangster boy friend (Cagney). The film was nominated for several Oscars, including Best Song. Edges and corners worn. Lightly toned. Surface creases not effecting signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
