Another Marriage
Several years after her third husband’s death in 1968, Day was able to find love again. She married Barry Comden in 1976. He was a maître d’ at a restaurant that she particularly liked. Rumor has it that he gave her food for her pet dogs since he knew how much she adored them. Sadly, the marriage was short-lived, and they officially got divorced in 1982. Comden has mentioned that she apparently cared more about her animals than her very own husband.

Bush granted her the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work in both activism and the entertainment sector. In 2008, on the other hand, she was awarded a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in Music, though she was not in attendance during the ceremony.
