Now in paperback: The acclaimed New York Times bestseller about the #1 female box office star of all time.By telling Doris Days incredible, previously untold story, journalist David Kaufman takes readers to the epicenter of American popular culture. While Day symbolized virtuous America to the rest of the world especially in her heyday, the 1950s and early 1960s both she and that era are still perceived as being far more innocent and carefree than they really were. In fact, Day was a real-life Cinderella who regretted having gone to the ball, and whose series of princes proved far less than charming.
