Doris Day was the top box office draw of the 20th century and hit number one four times in the years 1960, 1962, 1963 and 1964. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio as Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff on April 3, 1922, (photo above: Day’s red lacquer Young Chang upright piano) Day began her career as a dancer then later as a singer on the big band circuit singing with Les Brown & His Band of Renown and recording their No. 1 hits in 1945, “Sentimental Journey” and “My Dreams are Getting Better All the Time.” Soon after embarking on a singing solo career, Hollywood came calling and offered her first film role in Romance on the High Seas (Warner Bros., 1948) which produced her No. 2 hit as a soloist “It’s Magic.” Shortly after, her duet with Buddy Clark “Someone Like You’ became her first No. 1 as PAGE 3 Julien’s Auctions | 8630 Hayden Place, Culver City, California 90232 | Phone: 310-836-1818 | Fax: 310-836-1818 © 2003-2019 Julien’s Auctions JULIEN’S AUCTIONS: PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF DORIS DAY PRESS RELEASE a solo star which was featured in the 1949 film My Dream is Yours. From 1948 to the late 1950s, Day had 30 Top-20 singles, including the No. 1 hits “Love Somebody” and “A Guy Is a Guy,” and recorded over 30 albums. In 1950, U.S. servicemen in Korea voted her their favorite star. (photo left: mantel with artwork and several of her animal sculptures and decorative items) Day starred in several hit films for Warner Brothers that displayed her singing and comedic talents, Tea for Two (1958), On Moonlight Bay (1951), By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1953), Young at Heart (1954) opposite Frank Sinatra, Teacher’s Pet (1958) opposite Clark Gable as well as the western themed musical, Calamity Jane (1953) which her song recorded for the film “Secret Love” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year and became her fourth No. 1 hit single. During the decade, Day had her own radio program The Doris Day Show and albums from six of her movie musicals charted in the Top 10, three of them at No. 1. In the latter half of the 1950s, Day’s success on the silver screen and music charts reached even greater heights as she took on more dramatic acting roles as singer Ruth Etting opposite James Cagney in the film Love Me or Leave Me (MGM 1955) which Day considered to be her best film performance and which the film’s soundtrack went to No. 1. The following year, Day would star in her breakthrough dramatic role as Josephine Conway McKenna in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller The Man Who Knew Too Much opposite James Stewart and became her tenth film to be in the Top 10 at the box office. In the film, she sang two songs “We’ll Love Again” and what would become the song most synonymous with Day, “Que Será, Será (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)” which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. She would return to her musical comedy roots in the 1957 film The Pajama Game with John Raitt and would achieve even greater box office success in a slew of romantic comedies from 1959 to 1968, beginning with her film Pillow Talk starring opposite Rock Hudson with Tony Randall. The film won an Oscar for Best Screenplay and an Oscar nomination for Day for Best Actress and from then on, Day became an even bigger household name with her roles playing working women in postwar America.

Their on-screen chemistry continued off screen in their lifelong friendship and the incredible bond they shared throughout their lives and up until Hudson’s death from AIDS in 1985. Day helped open the door to tolerance and understanding of the disease by publicly demonstrating her support and empathy for Hudson who became the first celebrity to announce that he had AIDS.

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
    AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West.

  • Women's Leadership in Primetime Television an Introductory Study
    Women’s Leadership in Primetime Television An Introductory Study Natalie Greene Spring 2009 General University Honors Capstone Advisor: Karen O’Connor Greene 1 Women’s Leadership in Prime-time Television: An Introductory Study Introduction When television executives report their core audience, women always come out ahead. A 2007 Nielsen Media Research report showed that, with only two exceptions, every broadcast network channel had more female viewers than men. ABC’s female audience almost doubled its male audience during the 2007-08 season (Atkinson, 2008). 1 Women onscreen, however, seem to reflect a different reality, making up only 43% of characters in the prime-time 2007-08 season (Lauzen, 2008). 2 As studies going back as far as the 1970s show, women on screen not only fail to represent the proportional makeup of women in society, they also overwhelmingly show a stereotypically gendered version of women (McNeil, 1975; Signorielli and Bacue, 1999; United States Commission on Civil Rights, 1977). This paper aims to address the evolution of women’s leadership in prime-time network scripted television from 1950 to 2008. Because of the way that women have been traditionally marginalized in television, it is important to study the shows that have featured women as lead characters. Characters such as Lucy Ricardo ( I Love Lucy, 1951-1960) influenced later female leads such as Ann Marie ( That Girl, 1966-1971), Mary Richards ( The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970-1977) and Murphy Brown ( Murphy Brown, 1988-1998). Thus, along with an introduction to socialization theory and feminist television criticism, this paper covers a selection of some of the most influential female characters and women-centered shows of this period.
