My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
It's ironic that last week, I suddenly felt the desire to watch some of my favorite Doris Day films. I will sometimes get like that, where I need a "Doris Day Fix" because whenever I watch one of her films, or even see her face, I immediately feel good. Her films are the perfect little pick-me-ups, especially good for unwinding after a tough day at work, and always good for a laugh and a smile.
Doris Day films always make me feel that all is well because she had a bright light that emanated within her, touching my heart. She was very much like one of my other favorite leading ladies, Audrey Hepburn. They both had an ethereal quality about them. Like two beautiful earth angels.
Therefore when I discovered on Monday, the 13th, that Doris Day passed away, I couldn't help but feel the loss of someone very special.
For all her fame and prosperity, Doris Day experienced a great many challenges and hardships during her life. Yet, she never allowed those things to hinder her light.

She perpetually glowed...
Last night I watched another one of my favorite Doris Day films. During her career she was primarily projected as the "girl next door" who was "wholesome and pure." However, she was also very sexy. But that was not something you saw in most of her movie roles.
She had an incredible figure, and could dance like nobody's business.
She was, what is referred to in show business as: a triple-threat. Because she could act, sing, and dance. And excelled in all three...
Here she is in a musical number called, "Shaking the Blues Away." I especially love this number because of the costumes. She's wearing a faaaaaaabulous sexy blue dress, surrounded by men in top hats, tuxedos, and canes...
Here she is with a few of her charming and handsome male co-stars. The films she made with these three gentlemen are some of my favorites...
With Cary Grant
With James Garner
Yet, to me, the most heartfelt and sincere partnership was between Doris Day and Rock Hudson. They shared a chemistry that went beyond acting. They shared a loving friendship that made their on-screen relationships in the three movies they made together, so real. You could feel their love and devotion for one another in every single frame...
And they shared that special bond off-screen as well. Theirs was a loyal and longstanding friendship. They were very much, soulmates...
Doris was there for Rock even at the end of his life. Here they are together only a few months before his passing. She was a true friend, and loved him unconditionally...
And I'm positively sure that when Doris passed on Monday, Rock was there waiting for her...
Doris Day was also an animal advocate (Doris Day Animal Foundation), dedicating much of her life to her furry friends...

I give you the sexy Doris Day in, "Love Me or Leave Me"...
Your light will shine on forever!
Have a grrrrreat rest of your week, everyone!
