By the early 1950s, Doris Day's singing voice brought her into the world of movie musicals.
You could hear Day's voice and see her infectious smile in films like "Calamity Jane," "Lucky Me," "Young at Heart," and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (via IMDb). By 1959, a co-starring turn with Rock Hudson in "Pillow Talk" earned Day her first and only Academy Award nomination, according to Biography.
The 1960s brought more star turns for Day, as she made audiences smile in hits like "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "Send Me No Flowers". However, by the end of the decade, Day made the transition to television to star in the self-titled "The Doris Day Show," which ran from 1968 to 1973. Not long after her TV show ended, Day announced that she was ready to finally retire from show biz, but she still kept active in her later years, making a few short musical and television comebacks along the way.
