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.
Doris Elinor Hermitage Day (1873, Abbeycwmhir, Powys, Great Britain – 1966, East London, South Africa) was a British archer. She competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.
Day competed at the 1908 Games in the only archery event open to women, the double National round. She took 16th place in the event with 483 points.
"Doris Day" is a song from 1982 by Dutch band Doe Maar. It was the title-track off their third album Doris Day en Andere Stukken and became their first top 10-hit.
Bass-player Henny Vrienten, lead-vocalist alongside pianist Ernst Jansz, wrote "Doris Day" as a complaint about TV-boredom (which includes the screening of a Doris Day-movie) best tackled by pressing the off-button and going out. The original lyrics also mentioned movie-expert Simon van Collem, but this was altered to "ein Wiener Operette" when he appeared to be the father of the band's new drummer Rene (1961).
"Doris Day" catapulted the otherwise thirtysomething Doe Maar into superstardom, but overexposure and creative exhaustion would split them up two years later. Vrienten, who went on to write TV- and movie-soundtracks, told Music Maker-magazine in 1985: "You can flush 'Doris Day' down the toilet anytime you like; it's the worst song I ever wrote. Rhyming for rhyming's sake, and stuff. And the worst thing of all is that it drew full crowd-participation every night".
The One I Love may refer to:
The One I Love (Japanese: わたしのすきなひと, Hepburn: Watashi no Sukinahito) is a romantic, slice-of-life shōjo (targeted towards girls) manga by Clamp, an all-female, manga artist team consisting of Satsuki Igarashi, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Nanase Ohkawa. Appearing as a monthly serial in the Japanese manga magazine Monthly Young Rose from December 1993 to June 1995, the twelve stories were collected into a bound volume by Kadokawa Shoten and published in July 1995. The One I Love contains twelve independent manga stories, each focusing on an aspect of love and accompanied by an essay. Ohkawa wrote the essays while Nekoi illustrated the manga; it was the first time she primarily illustrated a manga by Clamp. Some of the stories draw on the life experiences of the women while others take inspiration from conversations they had with friends.
In 2003, Tokyopop licensed The One I Love for an English-language translation in North America, and published it in October 2004. Viz Media republished the manga in February 2015. The manga has also been translated into other languages. Reviewers have identified a few themes in the collection. They had a range of reactions to The One I Love: some considered it heartfelt entertainment, while others reviewed it less positively, as a badly done take on romance.
"The One I Love" is a popular song.
The music was written by Bronisław Kaper and Walter Jurmann, the lyrics by Gus Kahn. The song was published in 1937, and appeared in the 1938 film Everybody Sing, starring Allan Jones, Judy Garland, and Fanny Brice. In the film the song was sung by Allan Jones and reprised by Jones and Lynne Carver.

I saw her wait, waitng at the bus stop
Watching as her tears dropped
Like pennies down a well
Oh well
We can drink until the sun comes up
I never let a good thing go
So I'll stay here if you're not leaving
I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could make a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
(You don't have to go)
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
You don't have to go
I saw your man, fast car and a dark suntan
You said he's in a punk-rock band
But baby, punk-rock's dead
Oh well
We can drink till you forget about him
It's not like he waits up for you
I'm sure he'd do the same thing too
But I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could make a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
(You don't have to go)
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
You don't have to
I knew it was a crime
I did it anyway
I tell him we're like magnets
I tell him I feel no shame
If I crawl into your blood
Can I sleep under your skin?
C'mon let me in
Don't make me wait
I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could be making a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away" [x5]
You don't have to go
