What a fantastic tribute, Tele! I think you may be in love with Doris. Well, that's okay because I am, too. She has brought so much happiness to so many for so long. As many fun and fantastic movies she has made I still always think of her TV show. Do you remember it? I haven't seen it in decades. I looked it up just now on YouTube. There are hundreds of clips from the show as well as the various opening credits she had through the seasons. They're kind of kooky. Here's one of them.
Happy Birthday, Ms. Day. Thank you for everything!
