Fear Of Flying
One of Doris Day’s most iconic performances was as a flight attendant in Julie. This is why it comes as a surprise to hear that the actress-singer is actually scared of flying! In fact, she has missed award ceremonies thanks to this phobia. Day is the recipient of nine nominations for the Laurel Award, and she went on to win the Best Female Performance award four times! Isn’t that impressive? For an entertainer, we know that money and recognition are often used as a measure of success.
Her Foundation
In 1978, Day founded the Doris Day Pet Foundation, a non-profit charity organization focused on animal protection. It later became known as the Doris Day Pet Foundation (DDAF). It basically aims to help animals and those who care for them. Apart from that, she launched Spay Day USA, which has since become an annual event. She also founded the Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) which later merged into the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in 2006.
