Doris Day deceased.

Doris Day was also a smoker back in her heyday.

Not only was she a smoker, she was smoking (hot).

Yes she was hot! Guess I was wrong about her being a smoker. I'm not sure which of her movies I've watched. I was so young when mom would watch her old movies but now that we've been talking about her, I want to find some and watch them!

I'm not sure if she ever appeared on screen smoking. She adopted that 'wholesome girl' persona early-on after getting famous. But hot blondes don't usually get famous for being wholesome off-screen, if you know what I mean.


Edit: Just saw that Tim Conway died. That hits me a lot harder. And I was just mentioning Ernest Borgnine, too. (They were Mermaidman and Barnacleboy, their final roles together.)

It was a reunion gig for them. They worked together on McHale's Navy.

RIP.... Doris Day.... I love her song likes Que Sera Sera and Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps!

Borgnine was in one of the first titanic movies IIRC, was a big hit in the 70's... was a big actor in his day, no pun intended.

 

[Ericthegreat]

Just basing that on her age. Most actors from her time period were smokers and I've got a feeling she wasn't, due to the fact she lived to almost 100!
Of course that's probably not the only factor. She may've ate healthy, stayed away from drugs, etc., etc.

Heh, theres actully a good study by john hopkins that says your pretty much just gonna die when your gonna die, healthy eating/exercise has little to do with it unless your morbidly obese.

Not Titanic. It was "The Poseidon Adventure." Also with Gene Hackman, Shelly Winters, others I can't remember right now.
