Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff; April 3, 1922 or 1924) is an American actress, singer, and animal rights activist.
Day began her career as a big band singer in 1939, and is well known for her string of romantic comedies with leading man Rock Hudson including 'Pillow Talk' and 'Lover Come Back' in the early 1960s. Her popularity began to rise after her first hit recording "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After leaving Les Brown & His Band of Renown to embark on a solo career, Day started her long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which remained her only recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967 and included more than 650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. In 1948, after being persuaded by songwriters Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne and by Al Levy, her agent at the time, she auditioned for film director Michael Curtiz, which led to her being cast as the female lead in Romance on the High Seas.
Over the course of her career, Day appeared in 39 films. She was ranked the biggest box-office star, the only woman appearing on that list in the era, for four years (1960, 1962, 1963 and 1964), ranking in the top 10 for ten years (1951–52, and 1959–66). She became the top-ranking female box-office star of all time and is currently ranked sixth among the top 10 box office performers (male and female), as of 2012. Day received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Pillow Talk, won three Henrietta Awards (World Film Favorite), and received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career Achievement Award. In 1989, she received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures. She made her last film in 1968.

Julie is an American sitcom starring Julie Andrews which aired on ABC during the summer of 1992. Blake Edwards was the director and executive producer of the series.
Andrews starred as Julie Carlisle, a television personality who marries a veterinarian Sam (James Farentino). Julie, along with her new husband and stepchildren, relocates to Sioux City, Iowa. The series chronicled her new life in coping with a career and family, was largely panned by critics and was subsequently canceled after six episodes due to low ratings.

Julie, what's your problem?
Won't you tell me what's going on?
'Cause there's a dark cloud hanging over you
You've been down, down, down for too long
You used to sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I want you
Sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I do
There's a band outside
And they're playing now for you, for you
Julie, come to your window
Don't let your problems spoil the view
It's not a good day to cry today
So come on change, change, change
Come through the door
You used to sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I want you
Sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I do
There's a band outside
And they're playing now for you
You used to sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I want you
Sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I do
There's a band outside
And they're playing now for you, for you
Why, why, why do you cry, cry, cry?
You should know by now that the sun comes out for you
Why, why, why do you cry, cry, cry?
You should know by now that the sun comes out for you
that the sun comes out for you
You used to sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I want you
Sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I do
There's a band outside
And they're playing now for you, for you
You used to sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I want you
Sing sha, la, la, la, la, la, I do

And they're playing now for you, for you
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, I want you
