Doris Day dead at 97: WATCH Hollywood star’s famous Calamity Jane Deadwood Stage song

Another one of the Hollywood Golden Age’s last surviving stars has left us. Doris Day, best known for her acting and singer in films across the 1950s and 1960s, has died aged 97 according to her foundation. One of the biggest female stars of all time, she’s probably best known for her role in 1953’s Calamity Jane. And no more so than for the whip crack away song The Deadwood Stage.

The famous scene was audiences’ introduction to her Calamity Jane.

The cowgirl sings her heart out while climbing over the stagecoach as it approaches Wild West town Deadwood.

Upon arriving, Day’s Jane comes across Howard Keel’s Wild Bill Hickok, one of her love interests in the classic movie musical.

After starring in Calamity Jane, the star’s career really took off in the mid-1950s. Having begun as a musical-comedy actress, she starred in more dramatic roles.

In 1955’s Love Me or Leave Me she co-starred opposite James Cagney, before joining James Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much.

By the late 1950s and early 1960s, she was seeing huge box office success thanks to a number of rom-coms.

Starring in 1959’s Pillow Talk, she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination.

While also seeing hits like That Touch of Mink with Cary Grant, which was the first movie in history to make $1 million in a single cinema.

But come the sexual revolution of the late 1960s and her popularity waned before she found herself bankrupt.

Day then found a home in television, which she hated at first, in The Doris Day Show.

And by 2004 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W Bush.

Day leaves behind other Hollywood Golden Age survivors such as Olivia de Havilland and Kirk Douglas, who are both 102.
