DORIS DAY
ASK HER A QUESTION:
You're in for some surprises when deliriously candid Doris comes across with straight answers for her fans
Hi! COME IN. Isn't this wonderful?" Doris Day was leafing through an enormous heap of mail. "This is some of the mail I got after 'Love Me Or Leave Me' and I never had so many letters before in my life! But — " the bright face drooped a little, "so many questions! About half of them start off with 'I want to know — ' and I can't possibly answer every single one separately. Do you suppose you could — ?" She hesitated and looked at me.
"Sure! You select some of the most interesting ones and we'll answer them in Screenland."
"Oh, that would be very nice. Let's start with this question which people ask so often. T want to know if it is hard to do all the things you have to do to have a successful career — and still have time and energy left over for fun and happiness in your personal life?'
"Well," Doris replied, "there is something / want to know, myself! Why do such a lot of people seem to think that it is 'difficult' for a woman to have both a career and a happy home life? I find it very easy! What's more, I know a lot of women who don't have careers and who are certainly very unhappy. The career really has nothing to do with it. I love everything about being in pictures and I work hard at my job. But that doesn't interfere with our having a wonderful 'family life' together!"
Those "family times," especially all the holidays, are important to Doris. Her mother and some of Marty's family live in Southern California and there are sisters and brothers and nieces and nephews galore. "Here's another 'want to know' question that particularly appeals to me. 'Do you ever like to hunt for bargains, as I do?'
"I certainly do. I hunt for bargains like mad and you'd think I'd know better by this time because not one single thing that I ever bought just because it was a real bargain turned out to be any good!
"The last time I thought -I had one it was shoes that were on sale. Really good ones, made by a famous shoe company. So I thought, 'I'll save money if I buy two or three pairs of these.'
