Exhausting Legal Battles
Moreover, a huge chunk of the $20 million she received as a compensation was used to pay all her legal expenses. For the moment, she had to go and host the TV program she was unwittingly signed unto by her duplicitous husband. These were the unfavorable conditions in which the Doris Day Show began. Can you believe it still went on to win a Golden Globe despite everything?
THE DORIS DAY SHOW
It is no secret that the passage of time can influence the tastes, priorities, and costumes of any period. In 1973, the show’s finale went on air thanks in part to the fact that fewer people were interested in watching a breezy character dressed in fancy dresses. Moreover, Doris was ready to quit acting and so she did, with the exception of several specials: Doris Day to Day and The Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff Special. How can we forget her last TV special opposite John Denver in the year 1974? Though it is worth noting that she still has not officially announced retirement.
