5.0 out of 5 stars What a Life, July 16, 2000
By Bob Waskiewicz (Wintersville, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Doris Day didn't have the perfect life everyone thought she had.She was abused by one of her husbands,her son was almost killed by Charles Manson,and her Father married an Africa American Women,that Doris loved.This book is fantastic,and no stone is unturned.I wrote to Doris Day when I bought this book in 1975,and she wrote back a beutifull letter signed in Ink.I still have this note,and Cherish it with all my memories of Doris Days great films and music she has given us over the years.I think Doris did the right thing,retiring while she was still on top,and enjoying her life with her animals,and beutifull house in Carmel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doris Day Her Own Story, January 24, 2000
By Dean E. Davis (Millville, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book was written in a way that made you feel as if you were listening to her talk to you in your living room. I was surprised that her life was not as the girl next door, full of sweet and lovely living. Her being able to have such difficulties with the men in her life and still survive with compassion and enthusiasm shows how well grounded she is. What a wonderful person. This book was a great read and touched my heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doris Day Her Own Story, December 12, 1999
By Maryellen O. Smith (Cary, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
I read this book many years ago. I was very touched by Doris Day's love for animals. I wrote a letter to her telling her how much I liked the book and how much happiness my own dog added to my life. I enclosed a picture of me laughing while my dog, Ginger, was licking my face. Doris actually wrote to me! She sent a postcard with a typed note on it. One line said: "Kiss Ginger on her nose for me." It was signed: Love, D.D. It was raining the day I got the card. A raindrop made one spot of the card blurry. However, from that point forward we have always referred to Doris Day as: "Ginger's Aunt Doris." Ginger is now gone, but the letter from Doris is a great part of her canine legacy.
