Mary Anne Barothy was movie star Doris Day's personal secretary in the 1970s and lived in her home for two years. This adoring biography of Doris, named the world's all-time best actress a few years ago, depicts life with Doris: celebrity friends, the star's love of her son Terry and the eleven dogs in the household, time on-the-set of the Doris Day TV show, the actress's search for companionship after her divorce and much more. Mary Anne has spoken at scores of events around the nation and charmed her audiences with her own personable memories—but the real star of the book is Doris Day.
