Biography of  Doris von Kappelhoff :
Doris Mary Ann von Kappelhoff, known as Doris Day (born April 3, 1924), is an American singer, actress, and animal welfare advocate. A vivacious blonde with a wholesome image, she was one of the most prolific actresses of the 1950s and 1960s. Able to sing, dance, and play comedy and dramatic roles, she has been an all-round star whose personality has permeated many popular and diverse movies.
Day was born Doris Mary Ann von Kappelhoff in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Evanston to German immigrants. The second of two children, she was named “Doris” after silent movie actress Doris Kenyon, whom her mother liked. Her family was Roman Catholic, despite her parents’ divorce. She later embraced Christian Science.

Trivia :
* She is mentioned in the Beatles’ song “Dig It,” second in the Billy Joel song “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” the Wham song “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” the Super Furry Animals song “Shoot Doris Day,” the De Phazz song “Something Special,” the Magnetic Fields songs “Is This What They Used to Call Love?,” and “Doris Daytheearthstoodstill” (sic), The Who song “Mirror Door” from Wire and Glass, the Ringo Starr song “La De Da,” the Underworld song “Dirty Epic,” and in the song “Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” part of the musical Grease. Doris Day is the name of a song by The Dutch band Doe Maar and she is mentioned in the chorus.
* During the 2000 Canadian federal election, Alliance party leader Stockwell Day promised to institute a policy under which a petition with 3% of Canadian voters’ signatures could trigger a referendum on any subject. As a result, Canadian satirists This Hour Has 22 Minutes created a mock on-line petition to hold a referendum to force Stockwell Day to change his name to Doris Day, and obtained more than three times more signatures than the needed 3%.
* Barbara Novak, the character played by Renee Zellweger in the feature film Down with Love (2003), is apparently based on the screen persona that Doris Day presented in the cycle of “sex comedies” beginning with Pillow Talk (1959)and concluding with Caprice (1967). Stylistically the film borrowed heavily from these films whilst being set in the New York of 1962. The soundtrack included one song associated with Day, Fly Me To The Moon, although her version was not the one featured. One song, sung by Zellwegger and Ewan McGregor, that featured during the closing credits Here’s To Love directly references Day and her screen partnership with Rock Hudson, and possibly references the fact that after the commercial failure of Jumbo (1963) Doris Day’s main musical contribution to her films was to record a single that functioned as a title track.
* She was born on the same day as the American actor, Marlon Brando who, coincidentally, is also mentioned in “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
* The famous quip, “I’ve been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin,” has been variously attributed to both Groucho Marx and Oscar Levant, though Levant appears to be its most likely author.
* Her son, Terry Melcher, dated Candice Bergen and lived at 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles just before it was rented out to Roman Polanski and his wife Sharon Tate. After Sharon, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Jay Sebring, and Steven Parent were murdered at 10050 Cielo Drive by the followers of Charles Manson, a number of motives appeared. One of these motives was that Melcher promised to produce Manson’s album, but later refused, apparently insulting Manson. According to this theory, Manson later sent out his followers to kill everyone at 10050 Cielo Drive in an act of revenge.[wikipedia]
