PROFILE: LEGENDS: DORIS DAY: VIRGIN TERRITORY, 7PM, BBC2

Monday May 12,2008


AMERICA'S sweetheart Doris Day is profiled here in this fascinating documentary which re-evaluates one of Hollywood’s most enduring legends.


Day (pictured) was one of the most popular actresses of the Fifties and Sixties but was often dismissed as an actress and overlooked as a singer.

The programme explores her early years as a band singer, when at 17 she got a chance to sing with one of the biggest bands of the time; and provides an insight into her troubled private life.

Fabulous clips from some of her most memorable movies illustrate how Day became one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
