...REJOICE!
Doris Day (born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff, 3rd April 1922 – 13th May 2019)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
"I love to laugh.It's the only way to live. Enjoy each day-it's not coming back again!" Words to live by in these times!
ReplyDeleteYes...I am still up on this side of the pond.
She also said: "I'm not going to go around with a long face - that's a waste of time!"
DeleteYou're always "up", aren't you? Jx
my fave movie of hers: send me no flowers
ReplyDelete(sings) "watch it hey, I'm doris day, I was not brought up that way"...
I don't think Miss Day was ever in a bad movie.
DeleteAnd yes, Stockard Channing's "tribute" to her was faboo! Jx
Julie and Caprice?
DeleteOK - I admit I have never seen Julie, which sounds like a precursor of Karen Black in Airport, and I only have the vaguest recollection of Caprice... Jx
DeleteShe is a really fantastic and versatile singer.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Was, dear, was.
DeleteI can't think of the song Enjoy Yourself (It's Later than You Think) without thinking of The Specials...
Jx
It is later than I think!
ReplyDeleteI love Prince Buster's version of that song, don't know why it has two different sets of verse lyrics.
I'm all for an upbeat death anthem
Happy DORIS Day.
ReplyDeleteQue Sera, Sera. Jx
