Doris Mary Ann von Kappelhoff (born April 3, 1924) is an american singer, actress, and animal welfare advocate known as Doris Day. A vivacious blonde with a wholesome image, Day was one of the most prolific actresses of the 1950s and 1960s. Able to sing, dance, and play comedy and dramatic roles, she has been an all-round star whose personality has permeated many popular and diverse movies.

Doris grew up in a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. She started out a dancer, but at an early age an automobile accident prevented her from furthering a career in dance. She began taking singing more seriously after her accident and her mother got her a vocal coach. It wasn’t too long after that, that she was able to get jobs singing. The band leader Barney Rapp was opening a club and looking for a female vocalist and picked her. He wanted to put her name on the marquee but thought that Kappelhoff was too awkward of a name and they arrived at Day (inspired from the song “Day After Day”). She never really liked the name but after not coming up with anything else Day stuck. She ended up touring and singing with other bands such as Les Brown’s singing hits such as “Sentimental Journey”. Later she became a film actress and starred in movies such as Pillow Talk and The Man Who Knew Too Much. She now has been in 39 movies and recorded near 1,000 songs.

Close pals of Woofit will know that Woofit has recently returned from the Planet Tarmac and is recording his observations exclusively for the Last FM collective - Many Tarmacians have become obsessed with the cult of celebrity. There are some who long to be plucked out of obscurity and attain celebrity status. It has become increasingly difficult to define what is a celebrity on Tarmac as it is possible to ascend to the position of celebrity from association with a recognised and established celebrity or via reality television. This is of great concern to the elite celebrities who do not wish their elevated social status to be contaminated by what they consider to be under qualified , limited shelf life (just over 15 minutes in some cases) lesser celebrities.

The elite or A list celebrities decided that they should define their status in terms of popularity and wealth , thus creating a recognised hierarchy for celebrities to adhere to. Lesser celebrities would know their place and would rarely encounter a celebrity from the upper echelons of fame. More recently lower status celebrities, particularly those of middle caste status have united with the lower caste celebrities and have taken direct and sometimes violent action to overthrow the elite celebrities. The response by the elite celebrities was to declare a state of emergency, introduce martial law and employ death squads to eliminate the ring leaders. It is not unknown on Tarmac for a lesser celebrity to be dragged out of a televised film or music award ceremony and unceremoniously shot.

Woofit enjoyed the apocalyptic sounds and satanic lyrics of Secret Love. Its worth going to hell and back for.
