'Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be.'
America’s Sweetheart, the Girl Next Door, sex goddess hiding in plain sight — Doris Day was a lot of things during her film and television career. Some are accurate; some are not so accurate. Day’s legendary career first began with Romance on the High Seas in 1948. Originally, Judy Garland was slated for the role but turned it down. After Garland’s original replacement was unable to take the part, the role went to Day. After that, the sky was the limit for the beautiful singer and actress.
'The Doris Day Show' Was Constantly Changing The show’s freshman season was bucolic, depicting Day in the way that many people viewed her: the perfect woman. Staying true to Day’s love of dogs, there was a sheepdog in the series as well. Many of the first season’s storylines revolved around her sons and Day's Doris Martin having to swoop in to solve whatever dilemma they were facing.
But it was the fourth season that changed everything, practically reinventing the entire show. Gone was the ranch, the family maid, Day's fictional father... and even her sons? Yep. Starting with Season 4, Doris Martin's sons, who initially played such large parts in the series, were no longer in the show. It was as if they vanished into thin air.
Day had been let down by men so often before — her first husband, whom she married when she was only 19, abused her, while her second husband left her when he realized she was destined to be a star, and her third husband took up 17 years of her life and left her with $500,000 in the hole to show for it. Her fourth and final marriage also ended after five years. Even her longtime lawyer since 1949, Rosenthal, who was half of the duo that spent her fortune, let her down.
