Today a man I know well surprised me, and I could tell I had one of those hilariously odd expressions on my face in response. When I heard a couple hours later that Doris Day had died, it seemed to me that I’d inadvertently paid tribute to that marvelous, strong, very funny woman. There will never be anyone who has a more entertaining or endearing response to male oddities than Doris Day. So today I want to say how lucky we are–among many, many gifts she gave us–for the hilarious reaction shots only she could deliver. Whether disdainful, amused, outraged–or best of all, all three–Day’s expression just nailed a sentiment….And so today, Doris, this feminist sends her heartfelt thank you. I couldn’t have said it better.
I also love how she sputters like an angry kitten when she’s mad onscreen.
Yes!! You’re right. That’s perfect too.
You said it! Doris Day had the best reaction shots/eye rolls/infuriated manner on screen. So funny, and so talented. That was a sad, sad day.
Yours is a wonderful tribute to our Doris.
Thank you! It was a very sad day. I’m just glad she gave me a reminder on such a day of why & how she’ll keep influencing us!
