Turning Down Roles

The entertainment industry can be vicious and this is why Doris Day tried to protect her sweet and innocent image. This was especially true when her popularity was on the rise. One of the ways she maintained the image was by being picky with the job offers she accepted. Did you know that she could have played Mrs. Robinson in the classic film The Graduate? She declined because she did not like the character nor the plot. The movie went on to become a huge hit, so it is worth wondering if she regrets not taking it.
