CLARA BIXBY
By now, you are probably already familiar with Doris Day’s actual name: Doris Mary Kappelhoff. While her fans refer to her as Doris, her friends call her Clara Bixby. We have Billy De Wolfe to thank for this interesting moniker! When they were on the set of the film Tea For Two, he mentioned that she looks less like a Doris Day and more like Clara Bixby. Hmm, do you think Doris took the comment in stride? Moreover, how do you think her parents reacted to the nickname?

Doesn’t Have A Strong Gay-Dar
Doris Day is particularly famous for the so-called bedroom comedies she starred in opposite Rock Hudson. These two collaborated on a number of projects, and it is no secret that there was a solid friendship between the two of them. In 1985, the 59-year-old Hudson died after suffering AIDS-related complications. After his passing, Doris revealed that not once did she suspect that her friend was gay. Despite her shock at the revelation, we are confident she would have been supportive of him even if she found out earlier.
