MyLot Exclusive #184 Doris Day died this morning. At age 97. And just like with Zsa Zsa (Died at age 99 on Dec 18, 2016) and Eddie Albert (Died at age 99 on May 26, 2005), et al, I wonder why. I mean, why not stick around till you're 100? Since you've come so close and it's still kind of rare to be that old. But then I think, maybe it wasn't up to them. Maybe the Big Parole Board In The Sky just says, "You get time off for good behavior," and you have no choice but to go. And what does this mean for Betty White? She's 97, too. I really want her to make it to 100, just like I wanted Doris to. Kirk Douglas made it with no problem and he's 102 now. In fact, there are a surprising number of celebrities over 100 now. Olivia de Havilland is 102 now, too. I'll put a link to a big list of especially old celebrities at the bottom (Ironically, Doris is number one on it. Maybe by the time you look at it, they will have taken her off it). And still, I don't know why some stay and why some go...I don't even know if they have a choice. Death remains as big a mystery as ever.

Doris Day, one of Hollywood’s most popular stars of the 1950s and ’60s who was Oscar-nommed for “Pillow Talk” and starred in her own TV show, has died. She was 97. Though she was marketed as a wholesome girl-next-door type, the comedies for which she was m

@amadeo It may be the most worthwhile things she did.

That is a huge thing that I didn't even bring up. She was way more proud of that than of her singing or acting.

I am sorry to hear. Doris Day for me is a legendary singer because of her song, "Que Sera Sera".

She left behind a lot of great movies, too.

@xander6464 That's true. Sorry I am not familiar of her movies. What I know is her songs like "Secret Love", "If I give My Heart to You", "When I Fall in Love", among others.

@Nakitakona You're kind of the opposite of most people---A lot of people can name one or two of her movies but a lot of them don't even know she was a singer.

She was actually a good actress--I so enjoyed her movies in the 60s--My mother in law is 97 and I am thinking she will get to 100--I am hoping I do too!

@xander6464 That, and I think she has always been more active and more positive in her outlook than many--and I think that helps

Why didn't Betty White make that list? She's 97. It's a surprising list of celebrities that made it to the century mark and beyond. I read about Doris Day's passing yesterday and was shocked. I was further shocked by how old she was. She was a wonderful actress.

It would be nice if those lists were always done right. Doris was good. At acting and singing.

That's sad. It's surprising what celebrities look like now with them getting older. I had done a task one time where you match celebrity faces. And I could hardly do it.

Sad. Her songs always made me feel sad, but she had a lot of talent

Her singing and her acting were both great. I'm really disappointed that she didn't make it to 100.
