Real name: Doris Mary Ann Von Kapplehoff. Was dubbed Doris Day when a
song she sang became
popular yet she remained relatively
obscure, so people only remembered her first name and the fact that the song had the word "day" in the title.
She dreamed of being a professional dancer, but injuries she suffered in a car accident made that impossible. She turned to singing and had a flourishing career as a big band singer before she got into motion pictures.
