Quote for the Day:
"I'll remember this to my grave.
We all worked into a room to see the screen tests.
The first screen test was Marion Hutton's.
Then came Janis Paige [who ended up with a part in the film].
Then on the screen came Doris Day.
I can only tell you, the screen just exploded. There was absolutely no question.
A great star was born, and the rest is history."
