Big Breakthrough
Doris Day was already a pretty big star in her own right during the early ‘50s. However, her big break would definitely be the more dramatic role she played in the 1955 film Love Me or Leave Me. After the project, she appeared in the Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much where she sang several songs. Her performance of “Que Sera, Sera” won yet another Academy Award! The following years would be highly lucrative for her as she continued to bag more leading roles.

Prime Years
We daresay that Doris Day’s acting career peaked during the years 1959 to 1968. She starred in several romantic comedies, the most popular which would be Pillow Talk. Oh, and let us not forget about Lover Come Back and Send Me No Flowers! As time passed by, her appearance in box-office movies dwindled as she began turning down the offers she received. Her last film credit was for the 1968 movie With Six You Get Eggroll.
