Doris Day to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award

This past Saturday, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association announced that actress Doris Day will receive their Career Achievement Award alongside other Critics Award winners on Dec. 11th.
The multi-talented girl next door was one of the biggest box office draws in the 1950s and 1960s, ably performing in dramas, romantic comedies and even thrillers. She starred opposite some of the top leading men of her day, including James Stewart in Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rex Harrison in Midnight Lace and Cary Grant in That Touch of Mink.
Day reached the pinnacle of her film career opposite Rock Hudson in the hugely successful romantic comedy, Pillow Talk, which earned the actress her only Academy Award nomination. She abruptly left acting in the 1970s following The Doris Day Show and became a committed animal rights activist. Of course, Day was also a top-selling recording artists and had hits with Teacher's Pet, Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera) and Love Me or Leave Me.
