The cable channel Turner Classic Movies has announced that it will air a special 24-hour marathon of movies starring Doris Day. One of the most popular film and music stars ever to come out of Cincinnati, Day passed away on May 13. She was 97.
The marathon will air all day on June 9 beginning at 6 a.m. with Day’s film debut, 1948’s Romance on the High Seas.
