Doris Day(born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff;

activist. She began her career as a big band singer in 1939, achieving commercial success in 1945 with two Nº 1
recordings, "Sentimental
Journey" and "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time"
with Les Brown
& His Band of Renown. She left Brown to embark on a
solo career and recorded more than 650 songs from 1947 to 1967.
Day
was one of the biggest film stars of the 1950s–1960s. Day's
film career began during the Golden Age of
Hollywood with the film Romance on
the High Seas(1948). She starred in films of many
genres, including musicals, comedies, dramas, and thrillers. She
played the title role in Calamity Jane(1953)
and starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much(1956)
with James Stewart. Her
best-known films are those in which she co-starred with Rock Hudson, chief
among them 1959's Pillow Talk,
for which she was nominated for the Academy Award
for Best Actress. She also worked with James Garner on both Move Over, Darling(1963)
and The Thrill of
It All(1963), and starred alongside Clark Gable, Cary Grant, James Cagney, David Niven, Ginger Rogers, Jack Lemmon, Frank Sinatra, Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, and Rod Taylor in
various movies. After ending her film career in 1968, only briefly removed from
the height of her popularity, she starred in her own sitcom The Doris Day Show(1968–1973).
In 1989, she was awarded the Golden Globe Cecil B.
DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion
pictures. In 2004, she was awarded the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. In 2008, she received the
Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as well as a Legend Award from the Society of Singers.
In 2011, she was awarded the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career
Achievement Award. The same year, she released her
29th studio album, My Heart,
which contained new material and became a UK Top 10 album. As of 2020, she was one of eight
record performers to have been the top box-office earner in the United States
four times.
The Tunnel of Love is a 1958 romantic comedy film directed by Gene Kelly and starring Doris Day and Richard Widmark. The film follows a married
suburban couple who, for reasons unknown, are unable to conceive a child and
soon endure endless red tape on a path of adopting one. It
is based on the 1957 hit Broadway play of
the same name by Peter De Vries and Joseph Fields, which
in turn was based on De Vries' 1954 book of the same name. The Tunnel of Love is
the first film directed by Kelly in which he did not also appear. Day received
a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture
Musical or Comedy for her performance.
The
film was a box office disappointment, which Kelly attributed to audiences not
accepting Widmark in a comedic role.
Getting crazy on the
waltzers but it's the life that I choose
Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I
am
In a screaming ring
of faces I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the
night
I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and
my soul
And the big wheel
keep on turning neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
It's just the danger
when you're riding at your own risk
She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like
this
It's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
Hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
And the big wheel
keep on turning neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
Well it's been money
for muscle another whirligig
Money for muscle and another girl I dig
Another hustle just to make it big
And rockaway rockaway
And girl it looks so
pretty to me just like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we were kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we were kids
She took off a silver
locket she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made
me
Stay
And the big wheel
keep on turning neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
And now I'm searching
through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
To rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
And girl it looks so
pretty to me like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we were kids
Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we were kids.
