A day’s work at the animal shelter.
Doris’s day in the limelight lasted for nearly three decades, from the forties to the sixties. She brought girl-next-door looks, boundless energy, and a memorable singing voice. Her romantic comedies were her biggest successes, including “Send Me No Flowers” and “That Touch of Mink.” She even earned an Oscar nomination for “Pillow Talk.”
Once she finished acting, her other passion took over: animals. She founded the Doris Day Animal Foundation, which advocates for quality-of-life initiatives for animals of all kinds. She seemed to particularly like horses, as well as those family classics dogs and cats.
