About 85% of movie actors changed their names. Most of their real names wouldn't fit on a marquee.Doris Day's real name was Doris Kappellhoff.
Her name was changed for the same reason Kirk Douglas dropped his real name of Issur Danielovich and Tony Curtis dropped his real name of Bernard Schwartz.

Doris was born in 1922. She was my patient so, that was on her chart. Most thought it was 1924, or 25, and I kept my mouth shut due to ethical issues.Very nice photo. I always liked her singing. Not all caked full of makeup either. I wonder if she can still sing. Her doggie looks about as old as she is.
Her husband, Marty Melcher was a real schmuck. God forgive me, but he was a first rate louse.She look great at 95!
Gene Nelson convinced her she could dance again and, so she did.Doris Day - Bluebells of Broadway
It is animal friendly too.
Pillow Talk is my favorite. She got her acting chops in Midnight Lace. If you can find it try to get Glass Bottom Boat.. What a hoot that one is.One of the presents Santa brought us, for Christmas, is a DVD with six of Doris' movies. (Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, Send Me No Flowers, The Thrill Of It All,Midnight Lace, & The Man Who Knew Too Much) Can anyone recommend a favorite?
One of my faves for very personal reasons.Doris Day - Stars Fell On Alabama
During WWII Rock Hudson's ship was pulling out to go fight in the Pacific and this was the song they were playing as the ship left port. Little did he know what his future held.One of my favorites !
Gordon MacRae's wife was another patient of mine. As you obviously can see, we catered to the entertainment industry.Till We Meet Again - Doris Day & Gordon MacRae
Doris was quite good at jazzy numbers.Doris Day sings I'm Beginning To See The Light
