Quote for the Day:

"I'll remember this to my grave.

We all walked into the 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."
