Doris Day's words: "After 27 years in show business my public image is that of America's la-di-da happy-go-lucky virgin, carefree and brimming with happiness. An image, I can assure you, more make-believe than any film part I ever played. At ten years of age I discovered that my father was having an affair with the mother of my best friend. At 13, I was in an auto hit by a train, and that threatened to make me a cripple for life. At 17, I was married to a psychopathic sadist. When my third husband died, a man I had been married to for 17 years, I discovered that he had left me with a debt of a half-million dollars. My reward for a lifetime of hard work. There's another Doris Day, a woman I know well. It's she who is the subject of this book--no holds barred. This is the life I have lived". Filmography: p. [308-313]
