Doris Day: The Biography

Doris Day is a living legend. For years she was the envy of every girl, the wish of every boy, and the hope of every parent. But this was only part of her story. Born Doris Kappelhoff in April 1924, she married four times -- not the "girl next door" image her publicists preferred. Her third marriage was to Marty Melther, whom she trusted implicitly. Only after his death did she learn that he had squandered a fortune and left her with $500,000 in debts. Over the past twenty years, Doris has devoted a great deal of time to helping neglected animals, offering shelter at her home and running an animal ambulance service.Michael Freedland is the author of 'Doris Day: The Biography' with ISBN 9780786229963 and ISBN 0786229969.
