Doris Day

Amanda S. Stevenson
I gatecrashed her movie set in Times Square when I was about 14. I said, "Tell them I'm your cousin." So she put her arm around me and told the security guard, "She's my cousin, and we want to be alone." And since she was in-between takes, she gave me her undivided attention for about half an hour. I never met her again but years later I was an extra in "Where Were You When The Lights Went Out?" and was actually interviewed fo Film Daily. I championed her with MGM brass - in writing but they decided she was too old the same year she was voted THE MOST POPULAR MOVIE STAR IN THE WORLD! So MGM went broke and lost their studio but still didn't change their minds!!!! I will love her until the day I die. I have lots of great photos of Doris Day and all her CD's too.
