"News of actress Doris Day’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world.

Thankfully, the actress best known for her hit song Sentimental Journey is alive and well.

"Doris Day Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actress Is ‘Alive And Well’
"On Wednesday (March 19) the actress' reps officially confirmed that Doris Day is not dead. “She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.
"Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved actress. Others say this shows her extreme popularity across the globe."
Day showed herself to be an accomplished comedic actress with movies such as:
"Pillow Talk" "won the Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay), and was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Doris Day), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Thelma Ritter), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Color (Richard H. Riedel, Russell A. Gausman, Ruby R. Levitt) and Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture."
From Wikipedia "One of the roles she turned down was that of "Mrs. Robinson" in The Graduate, a role that eventually went to Anne Bancroft. In her published memoirs, Day said that she had rejected the part on moral grounds; she found the script "vulgar and offensive.' "
Well, she would kiss, but her kisses never looked as if she was swallowing the entire head of her costar.

This car wash scene in "Move Over, Darling" showed Ms. Day would do anything except sex scenes for her roles
