Doris
Day (born Doris
Mary Ann Kappelhoff, April 3, 1922 or 1924)[1] is an American actress, singer, and
animal rights activist.
Day began
her career as a big band singer in 1939. Her popularity began to rise after her
first hit recording, "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After
leaving Les Brown & His Band of Renown to try a solo career, she started her
long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which would remain her only
recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967, and included more than
650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the
20th century. In 1948, after being persuaded by Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne and
her agent at the time, Al Levy, she auditioned for Michael Curtiz, which led to her being cast as
the female lead inRomance on the High Seas.
Over the
course of her career, Day appeared in 39 films. She was ranked the biggest
box-office star, the only woman on that list, for four years (1960, 1962, 1963
and 1964) ranking in the top 10 for ten years (1951–1952 and 1959–1966). She
became the top-ranking female box-office star of all time and is currently
ranked sixth among the top 10 box office performers (male and female), as of
2012.[2] She received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Pillow Talk, won three Henrietta Awards
(World Film Favorite), received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career Achievement
Award and, in 1989,
received theCecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion
pictures. Day made her last film in 1968.
Day has
released 31 albums, and her songs have spent a total of 460 weeks in the Top 40
charts.[3] She has been awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Legend Award from the Society of Singers. In 2011, she released her
29th studio album, My Heart, which debuted at No. 9 on the UK
Top 40 charts. As of January 2014, Day is the oldest living artist to score a
UK Top 10 with an album featuring new material.
Her strong
commitment to animal welfare began in 1971, when she co-founded "Actors
and Others for Animals". She started her own non-profit organization in
the late 1970s, the Doris Day Animal Foundation and, later, the Doris Day Animal League (DDAL). Establishing the annual
observance Spay Day USA in
1994, the Doris Day Animal League now partners with The Humane Society of the United States and continues to be a leading advocacy
organization. In 2004, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush in recognition of her distinguished
service to the country. Day is retired from acting and performing, but has
continued her work in animal rights causes and animal welfare.

Sir Cliff Richard OBE (born Harry
Rodger Webb, 14 October 1940) is a British pop singer, musician, performer,
actor and philanthropist. He has been a resident for most of his life in the
United Kingdom, but in 2010 confirmed that he is now a citizen of Barbados.[2] He divides his time between living in
Barbados and at a vineyard property in Portugal.[3] Richard has sold more than 250 million
records worldwide.[4] He has total sales of over 21 million
singles in the United Kingdom[5]and is
the third-top-selling singles artist in the UK's history, behind the
Beatlesand Elvis
Presley.[3]
With his backing
group the
Shadows, Richard, originally positioned as a rebelliousrock
and roll singer
in the style of Little
Richard[6] and Elvis Presley, dominated the British
popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
His 1958 hit single "Move It"
is often described as Britain's first authentic rock and roll song, and John
Lennon once
claimed that "before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been nothing worth
listening to in British music."[7][8] Increased focus on his Christian faith and
subsequent softening of his music later led to a more middle of the road pop image, sometimes venturing into contemporary Christian music.
Over a career spanning more
than 50 years, Richard has become a fixture of the British entertainment world,
amassing many gold and platinum discs and awards, including three Brit
Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards.
He has had more than 130 singles, albums and EPs make the UK Top 20, more than any other
artist[9]and
holds the record (with Elvis
Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its
first six decades (1950s–2000s). He has achieved 14 UK No. 1 singles (or
18, depending on the counting methodology) and is the only singer to have had a
No. 1 single in the UK in 5 consecutive decades: the 1950s through to the
1990s. In 2008, he celebrated his 50th anniversary in music by releasing a
greatest hits album, featuring the new track "Thank You for a Lifetime",
which reached number 3 in the UK singles chart. In November 2013, Richard
released his latest album, The
Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Songbook, which became the 100th album of his career.[10]
Richard has never achieved the
same impact in the United States despite eight US Top 40 singles, including the
million-selling "Devil
Woman" and "We Don't Talk Anymore", the latter becoming the
first to reach the Billboard Hot
100's top 40
in the 1980s by a singer who had been in the top 40 in the 1950s, 1960s and
1970s. In Canada, Richard achieved moderate success in the 1980s with several
albums reaching platinum status. He has remained a popular music, film, and
television personality in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Northern Europe
and Asia, and he retains a following in other countries.
