The guest is Doris Day. A complete one hour interview, the only one that Doris Day ever did on a television talk show. Doris Day reflects on the many films she has made. Most times cast in films as a "goody - goody" character. Doris admits that she never had a weight problem...discusses her current biography publication, "Doris Day: Her Own Story" which is a very candid and surprising to audiences revealed many dark moments in her life. Doris talks about her first marriage at 17 to Albert Paul Jorden who had a vicious temper and would beat Doris, at the time of her pregnancy.

Doris advocates living with someone before marriage...getting to really know the other person.,. Doris Day relates her relationship with her third husband, Marty Melcher, married in 1951 and lasting seventeen years until his death in 1968, the last year she ever made a movie. She states she still loves Marty even though he led to her bankruptcy after his death squandering her money through an unscrupulous attorney. Doris states that money was never a priority in her life, and relates a story revolving her son Terry Melcher one day after the death of her husband. Doris Day confirms that she loved making films, has had a very lovely life till now, and is grateful for her health.

Doris confirms that at this time she feels great. Now prays a lot. Not a church goer and if the right circumstance existed would marry for a fourth time. Phone calls are received and Doris Day answers questions. Favorite male co-stars and why...James Cagney, Rock Hudson, Jack Carson, Gordon MacRae, Clark Gable, James Garner. Never felt close to Cary Grant, who was a loner and quiet on the set. Loved working with Frank Sinatra. Doris mentions that her TV series will be re-run\. Doris Day's current love is in the audience and Barry Comden takes a bow. More remembrances, including first dancing for audiences when Doris was five years old. She admits that most important to her was to be happily married and states that she loves keeping house. Other revelations: Doris admits she use to be a heavy cigarette smoker...best to live together before marriage...her love of animals...and influenced to write her autobiography by Jacqueline Susann who told her to share her complex past life.1976-03-17, PBS, 75 min.
