Remembers… - Season 3 Episode 23

In the 1950s and 60s, Doris Day ranked amongst cinema’s biggest box office stars, thanks to roles in films such as musical Calamity Jane, Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much, and especially a string of hit romantic comedies, including the classic Pillow Talk. Amongst the movie icon’s millions of fans across the world was a young Gloria Hunniford, who in 1995, years after Doris had unexpectedly stepped back from Hollywood and swapped fame for anonymity, was invited to Doris’s home in Carmel, USA, for an exclusive opportunity to interview her heroine. Here, ahead of a special screening of that rare interview, Gloria draws back the curtain on her encounter with one of cinema’s great female idols and shares her memories of how the meeting came together, and the special behind-the-scenes moments that TV viewers of the day never got to see.
