This picture profile of her career from singer
to Hollywood's top female star shows that the years have
indeed transformed her; yet, in another sense,
shels still the same fresh-looking "girl next door"
By DORIS DAY
Of course I've changed since coming
to Hollywood. I'd be worried
about myself if I hadn't. After all, what
woman or man, for that matter
doesn't change in a dozen years?
Whether she's living in New York,
Hollywood, or Pocatello; whether she's
a homemaker, social worker, or actress?
It's all part of maturing, of getting a
wider grasp on life.
It's true that I live in a bigger house,
have a larger wardrobe, and entertain
more than before, but this is the result
of hard work and good fortune. When
Marty Melcher and I were first married,
we lived in the San Fernando Valley.
Two years ago, we moved to a larger
home in Beverly Hills. It was built and
furnished in the old Spanish style, but
we turned it into a rambling Palm
Springs type house which we furnished
in a mixture of modern country and
French provincial. Now who hasn't
yearned for a more spacious home and 4
switched allegiance from one school
of interior decoration to another?
Another subject I'm frequently asked
about is my change from musical to
dramatic roles. At the beginning of my
movie career, I was happy to be a singer
and never thought much about serious
acting. Then the whole complexion of
the industry changed. Musicals went
out, carrying many of the singing and
dancing stars with them, so I turned to
nonsinging roles. I kept on working in
films, and I found a deeper sense of
accomplishment in straight acting.
However, singing is still my life and
always will be. Incidentally, I do three
songs in my newest film, MGM's
"Please Don't Eat the Daisies," even
though it's a nonmusical comedy. That's
like having my cake and eating it, too.
