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."

Quote for the Day:

"I got tired. But Phil was the type of person that just wanted to get it right.

I was afraid. I was afraid to disturb him or be upset.

I was getting sleepy, but I would say "No, I'll keep pushing on, because Phil wants this record right."

So going over 'Da Doo Ron Ron' - 30 takes, 40 takes, 45 - that's a lot of takes to keep going over and over, to get exactly what he wanted.

But then, he gave me the biggest songs ever - 'Da Doo Ron Ron' and 'Then He Kissed Me'.

I couldn't have been more grateful to Phil for that."
