Doris Day, Film Star And Animal Rights Activist, Has Died At 97

Day was a star who reinvented herself several times. She “achieved indelible fame in big-screen bedroom farces and put a sunny face on the working woman in postwar America,” and walked away from the industry when she could. “In 1981, she moved to Carmel, the Monterey Bay community she fell for while making the 1956 film Julie, and devoted much of her life to animal welfare.” – Los Angeles Times
