She outlived them all. Her faith sustained her. Love you Doris.

What a beautiful (and classy) lady. Here she was surrounded by three males and still, she held her own. I know she really did not want to sing but Mike got her going. He also has a lovely voice! The result was amazing and simply beautiful. Thank you for this lovely memory.

She's timeless! Love her fashion sense. It never goes out of style.

Doris Day was my childhood idol. (63 years ago) she is still an inspiration, even after death which was devastating. My grief is into the second year. I love her to pieces. Rest In Peace sweet lady. 💖💖💖💖

I'm so happy that Mike made her sing. That was amazing that it actually made me cry. I miss her.

Oh my God, I love this woman!!!! Hollywood will never be like this again!

I came here from a 1974 Carson Show interview. She told Johnny she did not want to sing and he respected wish and told her he would not put her in that position, considering the audience was obviously up for it. To have Mike Douglas, who she knew as a singer in the business, find a gentle way to encourage her to sing, after answering painful questions about her life, was priceless. I don't know how many appearances on her book tour she had already made talking about those painful periods in her life, but she seemed to be making a Herculean effort to hold it together and respond to the questions. Thank you Steve Allen for the occasional joke and light momentary change of pace during her interview. Job well done. Rest in peace gentlemen and rest in peace Miss Day. You got this old dude in tears and you have given me closure, hearing you singing, here, Sentimental Journey. May your Journey be a blessed one.

Even only talking her voice is sublime. What a classy lady!

Her optimistic, positive outlook on life is what translated so well on to the screen. She was really no different in her movies than she was in real life. What a brilliant actress.

I am 23 years old and I greatly appreciate Doris Day as an awesome singer and a divine actress. Boy! I wish I was around at the time Doris was touring as a singer.

Doris Day was the real deal. Style, personality and great talent will be missed.

She will always remain my favourite actress and singer She is a legend not spoken of enough

Doris is so gorgeous and wonderful! I'm still smiling after the end of the interview. Loved the "Sentimental Journey" duet with Mike Douglas!

When Doris started singing.........it is like magic, everything illuminates around her, what a wonderful talented & nice person she is...

Amazing lady Doris Day, she brought so many smiles to so many faces and hearts.

What a lovely woman. I knew she was an amazing singer, talented actress, and gifted film comedienne. I didn't know she was such a lovely lovely woman.

What she says at 6:10 is so smart. She was so cool. She had her own life to live and enjoy and she didn't need the spotlight anymore.

Great post! Always loved her singing, her effervescent smile and attitude, plus her TV Show. Didn't know much about her home life and disappointments, so this was quite revealing. Learned alot--a GREAT POST, Howard Gee!

She was so encouraging. What a beauty in form and spirit!

I love Doris. She's one of my favorite performers and her voice is wonderful.

As long as I can remember I have ALWAYS wanted to be Doris Day, I'm almost 70. I didn't know until yesterday how much we have in common, my first husband was an abuser and I had my son he started abusing him, God gave me the strength to knee him where it hurts, two of my brothers came for me and he left and I was a freed victim. My son and I are best buddies. We survived. But I adore her and still want to be like her. God bless you sweet Doris I am so sad. Thanks for the memories😟💕👏 I'll love you forever and always

What a beautiful lady! Such a gorgeous soul with a beautiful energy...not to mention a truly amazing voice! I remember Che Sera Sera as a child...Our mom would sing it around the house all the time. We love you Doris! Thank you... We enjoyed “The Doris Day TV Show” and your many movies! You will be missed and there will never be another one like you! You were a legend! “Gonna take a sentimental journey” ... one of her best - wow! RIP Doris.

Thank you, Howard! She was SPECIAL beyond words!

One classy lady. She will be truly missed. May she rip.

Doris Day is one of my all - time fav' female personalities . Loved her from the first time i heard her , and still do . From a U.K. fan . God bless Doris Day .

I love how she just went into her groove when she began to sing. And sound flawless!

One of the big stars of all time. A wonderful singer. A first rate comedienne and a very good dramatic actress as well. She brought happiness to millions and will be doing that forever.

Her fashion sense was timeless beautiful woman

she is an American Treasure !...how many boys in WW2 listened to her and got by with what they had to do ? I admire her for her talent, humility and faith ! God Bless

Doris is very spiritual and I never knew this. In that extreme competitive arena, her attitude is so refreshing and probably helped her through those hard times. Thanks for posting this. She's had many ups and downs but keeps optimistic! Norm "it's good to have a round bottom" that's a classic!!!

Can anyone resist loving this ever so lovely lady?!

It's Doris' attitude that has pulled her through. What a lovely, talented lady!

what a great interview...Saw aspects of Doris' character and personality I' d not seen before

When I watch this , and she answers, I feel like I have known her for years. I feel part of her world. isnt that silly ? I havent even met her in person or had the chance to write to her .Now I have the internet I can watch these lovely interviews and smile with warmth that she gives out in the millions .

She was one of a kind. Need more of her kind,

God! I love Doris Day! She is a true Icon! A true legend! I still tear up knowing that she is not with us.But I still watch her movies and The Doris Day Show and anything she has done. RIP Doris! 🙏❤

Miss Doris Day is the most generous, kind and selfless person. Shes incredible intelligent, sensitive, and forgiving. Her physical talent, such as her amazing voice, wonderful and versatile acting are the best entertainment Hollywood ever produced. But only a shadow compared to her class and character. Miss Doris Day is still the sexiest woman on the planet.

Take that sentinel journey home Doris. Knowing God loves you and has blessed you. We will miss your beautiful spirit here on earth. RIP

I just love her! She's so awesome! Mike should have been the only one to interview. The guy on the end cut mike off when he was asking her a question. She is so sweet and loves life. I love that mike got her to sing with him! That was extra special in the interview💜💙💜

She has always been my favorite actress. R. I. P. Doris Day❤️

What a tense, awkward interview...Kudos to Doris for holding her own among these 3 male interviewers...

Another fabulous outfit!

I think this is my fav DD interview - especially as she sings at the end - RIP angel. x

Sentimental Journey... she did it well, didn't she... Wish she sung more on television... Thanks for sharing Howard!!!

I was so in love with Doris Day...She's beautiful inside and out. Steve Allen? well this is what happens when you have two talk show hosts on one show.

I have found most people find her style passe today ...I hate the word classy ,but here it applies ..But she is all and more of what we all aspire to be in our best selves . What a great lady. I adore her attitude , he voice , and more than that she is such a funny actress .Just the most adorable and most natural comedian ( aka Strait Girl). She makes you feel she dose not know about life when she's acting .It's so believable . I think that's why no no took her acting seriously ( She's that good at acting ) ..but in life no one knows how much she really knows . We are very lucky to have had her in our time . I will always cherish her humor , taste , movies and singing . Bravo Doris !!!

She only very recently passed away. Such a lovely voice and person.

Just barely over 1/2 of her life at 53.....R.I.P. beautiful lady, meet you upstairs🙏

Doris Day was pure class. There is no one in 2023 who even remotely comes close.

She was a comforting presence in her films and I loved the way she got indignant with Rock Hudson in films.

The Osmonds, Joan Rivers, and Debbie Reynolds were also wiped out financially and had to begin all over again. Loved watching Mike Douglas before Merv Griffin and Phil Donahue. He was great to see after school!

Another AWESOME interview. Thank you Mike Douglas. Thank you Howard Gee. What a lady! What a role model! What a life attitude! Thank you.

She was lovely inside and out. 💜💝💙

Classy lady with a lot of talent, common sense, and wisdom...

She was simply "Wonderful". Classy and so entertaining. Oh yes, and what an exceptional singing voice. No one better.

she is the epitome of HEALTHY!!! look at her here in her 50's!!! AMAZING!!!

She just shines a beutiful and classy lady. You will be missed R.I.P. Doris Day.

Miss Doris Day seems like Joan of Arc in this interview but fully capable of standing up for herself. The men are interrogating her! Miss Day was a pillar of strength to endure. She made pu/yof them

There is this definitive version of Day's Sentamental Journey on KZfaq, undoubtedly from either her 1971 or 1975 television special. Its sultry, minimalist - with a Peggy Lee quality to it. There is also of version of the Streisand classic Memories which Day delivers with photographs of her favorite leading men playing behind. That woman truly was one of the greats of the 50's 60's and 70's.

She really had an eye for fashion so classic.

God... I just love her fashion sense 👍

Ohh, when she sang! My heart! ❤️

Talented and beautiful Lady. I have loved her all my life. Thank you Miss Day for all the music and laughter.♥️ I will miss you forever

What’s smile! Even if she wasn’t as talented, her positive attitude would dazzle. She is so relaxed and comfortable and handles the questions, many personal, with ease and sincerity. ❤

I' m wild(^) again, beguiled again, a simpering, wimpering child again, bewitched bothered and bewildered - that was a favourite Doris song during my teens. - I kept winding up my old gramophnone to hear it again.

I think Doris Day was a classy lady and beautiful. I loved her outfits on her show..A loving person. I will miss her

Wow he got Doris Day to sing. That was a real accomplishment because she would never do that again.

Whst a beautiful segment….Doris Day looking fabulous @53 with Mike Douglas and Steve Allen. Awesome!

I just love this woman!!!! My favorite female vocalist of 'that' era!!!

This man has absolutely no charm with his guests doesn't do much to make Doris feel at ease.she's just lovely and gracious inside and out my total idol.rest in perfect peace Doris you deserve to be in paradise.you brought so much pleasure and happiness to people thankyou Doris hope to meet you some day when earth journey is over.x

She looks great!

She is a wonderful, beautiful and talented lady! Rest in peace.

what a great women she was,you don't quite see actresses like that anymore. you see Merryl Streep whose so full of herself Auugh! Doris trusted the Lord. She always gave good vibe.

I loved hearing her sing "Sentimental Journey" again, very moving...Happy 100th Birthday in Heaven, Doris. We love & miss you....

She has always been one of my hero's [Shee-ro's?]. She's such a treasure! If I'd known where she lived in Carmel, when I lived in the area, I'd have serenaded her on her Birthdays, too. Most gals do _NOT_ "make edgy choices"; gals too often get conned into relationships they don't recognize as dangerous; girls are taught to trust and keep trying...even still, even when they are being badly abused or taken advantage of. That 'taking advantage of', is _not_ restricted to the rich and famous. Media keeps promoting "the girl next door" image of innocence; any average "girl next door", has brimming-platefuls of their own troubles, which they dutifully strive to keep quiet. Doris worked very hard to make her life work well, as so many do, despite their troubles. That is _GRACE under-fire_. She's a wonderful role model. Grew up with her singing on the radio; her singing helped my Mom survive.

Sexy, talented, resilient, kind, and independent. That's a real woman.

She was absolutely gorgeous,what a lovely lady.r.i.p. Doris.

I’ve had a crush on this woman for over 50 years. So So sad to hear of her passing.

thank you for posting the full interview

more of an interrogation than an interview no wonder she didn't do interviews often. A lovely sweet lady.

Pure class, naturally beautiful, smart, humorous and kind.

Wow, voice still so Beautiful!

And this is why I love this woman. She is classy and bright. It was never about money, but about your health and happiness. I think her active life benefited her being healthy in her golden years. RIP Doris! No one will ever replace you.

Awe this woman was lovely through and through, the epitome of femininity, graceful and divine, grounded and humble. They just don't make 'em like that anymore!

Magnificent lady, indeed! One true Best of all time.

What an awesome lady! She went through some trials and tribulations but her faith sustained her, she somehow kept a positive attitude. Great singer and great actress, there's not many like her.

Doris Day is my favorite female singer, because of her beautiful velvety smooth singing voice that she had. ❤😊 AND...... Dean Martin was my favorite male singing voice, because of his velvety smooth singing voice. ❤😊 And my dogs loved both of their singing voices too. ❤😊😊❤❤❤❤

she sure hadn't lost any of her voice here. classy lady. true American legend.

Wow, what a beautiful woman. Such talent. The actors and actresses of yesteryear made Hollywood. Those were the golden days. Wish we go back in time. Doris, you will always be remembered and missed

I was 18 when this aired. I had the absolute HOTS for this woman at the time. At 62, I still see why.

Now I know why she glowed from the inside out. Now that is what you call real class.

I don't know what's wrong with being "the girl next door". It depicts one who is wholesome, refreshingly honest, not a snob, a regular person that is not pretentious that isn't afraid of living her convictions. To me it denotes one with integrity.

What a wonderful incredibly talented woman and actress. There’s nobody like her today. God bless you Doris.

Christ. She is so cool. Brutal interview. So weird.

Wow. Larger-than-life, beautiful entertainment legend right there. So glad Steve pointed out Doris's underrated comedy and dramatic actress prowess. I think trying to describe and to answer her legendary "Girl Next-Door" image was more difficult still then, because in hindsight with more time's passage we can see her filmography and characters in those films and how she was cast to be the perfect young lady who may have been sexy but always strived to uphold her image's respect. I just wish the panel would've added how successfully Doris literally reinvented her image through her film career, transitioning from classic color musicals to serious film biographies and dramas to her more lightweight yet hilarious late 1950s and early '60s domestic comedies, and then even her late '60s-early '70s TV sitcom work. She had and did it all, and so well. :)

Dearest Doris---I'll never stop loving you

She seems to be getting very irritated by Mike's questions, and I don't blame her.

When I was very young I loved watching Doris Day movies and listening to her sing and dance. I wanted to be her and sing like her. Thank God she's an over comer despite all the heart breaks she's gone through. Beautiful lady. Calamity Jane (Doris) and Wild Bill Hickok (Howard Keel); have always been my favorite romantic team.

Wonderful Lady. Thanks for the memories you have given us.

She looks gorgeous and her speaking voice is gorgeous...She could pass for late 30`s
