"There's not been a truly great biography of Doris Day, but that may change come 2008. That's the pub date for David Kaufman's book on Day, a work he promises will give Day her due as an actress and reveal what went on behind the shiny blond façade."-Liz Smith,New York Post, "Fascinating . . . Readers, especially fans of the star, will thoroughly enjoy this meaty, well-written, entertaining look at the surprisingly tumultuous life of an American icon." -Booklist, "Kaufman's definitive biography is highly recommended . . . uncovers juicy details." -Library Journalstarred review, ""There's not been a truly great biography of Doris Day, but that may change come 2008. That's the pub date for David Kaufman's book on Day, a work he promises will give Day her due as an actress and reveal what went on behind the shiny blond facade." "--Liz Smith, "New York Post ", "Aside from her as-told-to autobiography with A.E. Hotchner in 1975, this is the first full-length biography devoted to Doris Mary Anne von Kappelhoff, who was rechristened Doris Day just before she began fronting for the Les Brown Band in 1940. Although Day was continually portrayed in magazines and onscreen as a contented wife and mother, Kaufman (Ridiculous!: The Theatrical Life and Times of Charles Ludlam)-who spent eight years interviewing more than 150 people to create this definitive biography-uncovers a tireless workaholic (from 1947 to 1968, she made 39 films and recorded more than 600 songs) with four failed marriages and a son (music producer Terry Melcher) who was "more of a brother or father-figure than a son to his mother." Kaufman also uncovers that she was born in 1922, making her two years older than reference works state. Mismanaged by her third husband (their 16-year marriage was "a business arrangement" by their fifth anniversary), her career (and legacy) was severely damaged by the last seven films she made over a three-year period. This is an eye-opening, fair-minded bio of a woman who brought a lot of joy to fans but has found very little herself." Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "There's not been a truly great biography of Doris Day, but that may change come 2008. That's the pub date for David Kaufman's book on Day, a work he promises will give Day her due as an actress and reveal what went on behind the shiny blond façade."-Liz Smith,New York Post

Synopsis
Kaufman has written Doris Day's incredible, previously untold story. While Day symbolized virtuous America to the rest of the world, she was in many ways the opposite of her image as "the girl next door.", David Kaufman has now written the long-awaited, definitive biography of Doris Day. By telling Day's incredible, previously untold story, Kaufman takes the reader to the epicenter of American popular culture-- a roller-coaster saga, from the 1940s to the 1980s. While Day symbolized virtuous America to the rest of the world--especially in her heyday, the 1950s and early 1960s--both she and that era are still perceived as being far more innocent and carefree than they really were. Indeed, what makes Day's story so richly fascinating is the fact that she was in many ways the opposite of her image as the girl next door. She was also a real-life Cinderella who regretted having gone to the ball and who found a series of princes who proved far less than charming. Thanks to Kaufman's dogged diligence in tracking down countless colleagues and intimates, he gives us: Scintillating tales of fame, beauty, money, tragedy, sexual ambiguity, and sexual conquests. Anecdotes about a vast array of major subsidiary players in Day's life, including Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Alfred Hitchcock, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Charles Manson, Mickey Mantle, Candice Bergen, and Rock Hudson. Kaufman reveals Day's demons while emphasizing the extraordinary credit she deserves as an artist. In the tradition of great biographies, Kaufman's detailed work not only reveals the surprising story of one of America's most beloved icons, but also compels us to rush back and see her best films--including The Man Who Knew Too Much, Pillow Talk, Love Me or Leave Me--and to listen to her unforgettable songs--Sentimental Journey, Secret Love, Que Sera, Sera. Though she made more than 550 recordings andstarred in 39 movies--not to mention her own TV show for five years--the epic story of Doris Day's life has never been told . . . until now.

- s***l (155)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat sellers, I’ve purchased from them before and had a great buying experience, however for this purchase I was a little disappointed to find one of the camcorders broken during shipment, the box used was very thin and split open at one of the corners, other than that everything was as described
- 4***l (186)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book I ordered arrived in the mail and I couldn't be happier! It came just as described by the seller, barely used, if at all. The price was too good to pass up; the shipping was fast and packaged securely, as well. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you!
