Day was an accomplished singer and actress and one of the top box-office stars of her time
Doris Day, the Academy Award-winning singer of “Que Será, Será” and a Golden Age of Hollywood movie icon, died on Monday at 97 from complications of pneumonia, according to her foundation. Day had an enormously popular entertainment career, and is one of the top ranked female box-office stars of all time.
She also hosted the CBS sitcom “The Doris Day Show” from 1968-1973. Day was an accomplished singer, winning a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Legend Award from the Society of Singers. She recorded dozens of albums and saw numerous singles reach Top-10 status, most notably her breakout 1947 hit “Sentimental Journey.” Her gift for song translated onto the big screen, as she performed Academy Award-winning songs “Secret Love” in 1953 and “Que Será, Será” in 1956.
