[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

In September 1974, a judge in Los Angeles put a number on the damage done to Doris Day’s life: $22.8 million. It was staggering on paper, the kind of figure that makes headlines. But no courtroom could give her back the years she spent believing the people closest to her were protecting her future while they were quietly taking it apart.

To the world, Doris Day was light. She was the smile in Pillow Talk, the voice behind “Que Sera, Sera,” the woman who made America feel a little softer just by showing up on screen. After 1959, she wasn’t just famous she was one of the biggest names Hollywood had.

What the world didn’t see was who was signing the checks. Her husband, Martin Melcher, ran everything. He produced, he negotiated, he decided. Next to him was attorney Jerome Rosenthal, the trusted adviser. Doris did what she did best: she worked. She trusted them to handle the rest.

Then Melcher died in April 1968. She braced for grief. What she found instead was ruin. The money she thought her films, her records, her years of nonstop work had built was mostly gone. Bad investments, bad deals, debt stacked in folders she’d never been shown. The documents read like a different life than the one she thought she was living.

And there was more. Melcher had signed her to a CBS television series without even asking. Doris never wanted a weekly show. But with the financial walls closing in, saying no wasn’t an option. So she showed up. The Doris Day Show started in 1968 not because she dreamed it, but because she had to. Every week, America saw that familiar smile. Behind it was a woman in courtrooms, sorting through betrayal, trying to understand how everything had slipped away.

The lawsuit against Rosenthal laid it bare. Doris and her son Terry went after the man they had trusted, and the case pulled back the curtain on years of fraud, malpractice, conflicts of interest, and money mishandled while she was out making people happy.

When the judgment came in 1974, $22.8 million, it was one of the largest of its kind. The papers called it a win. But anyone who’s lived through something like this knows: a number on a verdict doesn’t mean the money shows up. Appeals dragged on. Delays piled up. What she actually recovered was a fraction of what the court said she was owed.

She could have let it make her bitter. She didn’t. Doris walked away from the Hollywood machine, chose Carmel, chose her animals, chose a life she could control. The court gave her acknowledgment. She gave herself something better.

Doris Day’s real victory wasn’t the judgment. It was the day she decided the damage wouldn’t write the rest of her story. She rebuilt quietly, on her own terms and that’s the part that still outshines the $22.8 million.

Columbo had such a talent for politely threatening people without actually threatening them.

He may as well have said "This isn't my first rodeo. I'm onto you, prick. I've got the scent, and I'm not going anywhere." 😂 But that's not Columbo

@BillieJeanKing @ChrissieEvert I was at the Spectrum summer of 74 ( your ball boy) @PhillyFreedoms when Chris and Jimmy had just won their 1st Wimbledon singles titles and were engaged . Both were terrific to deal with, yes even Jimmy ( always my favorite male player). It was a great night and both are gems❤️

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

I owe my first (and only) French Open women's singles title to the one and only @ChrissieEvert.

Winning this title was a big goal, and she practiced with me endlessly in Florida beforehand so I could prepare.

I won the title 54 years ago today.

Thank you, Chrissie!

@NancySinatra @MarilynMonroe Your dad tried to help her in many ways & considered I have read several times marrying her to protect her.Mickey Rudin told it would be a mistake if anything happened to her and would be a thankless endeavor. That again is his never ending golden heart Nancy. What a “mensch”💜🙏

[Jay Robert @jayrobertphilly]

@NancySinatra @MarilynMonroe We humans are all very complex , but public figures are to quote dad in his note to you in your 1st book 1985 ( My Father)from(after retirement) 1971 “ in the arena” & can’t breath and evolve without sickening scrutiny from the media. She wanted to better herself always Nancy💜

Holding a good thought for my forever idol, Marilyn Monroe, on the 100th anniversary of her birth.

Long before “girl power” had a name, Marilyn showed the world what it looked like: confident, vulnerable, funny, determined, and completely unforgettable. She was far more than a beautiful face. She was a gifted actor, a cultural phenomenon, and a woman who worked incredibly hard to be taken seriously in a world that so often refused to see beyond the image.

A century after her birth, new generations are still discovering the magic that made her unlike anyone else before or since. There will never be another Marilyn. Her films, her timeless spirit, and the fascination she inspires continue to endure.

Thank you, Marilyn, for showing us that strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive, for inspiring generations to embrace their power and individuality, and to never stop believing in themselves. 💖✨
