Doris Day is pretty reclusive and doesn’t give interviews. But she’s given one to Paul McCartney, who went to see her in Carmel, California. The occasion is her “new” album which comes out next week, called “My Heart.” The interview appears in the UK newspaper The Telegraph. Paul and Doris, who’s 87 now, talk about animals rights, her late son Terry Melcher, her signature song “Que Sera Sera,” and Alfred Hitchcock.When McCartney mentions Melcher, he comments that Day’s son “didn’t push himself too much.” He adds: “I didn’t either, come to think of it.” Paul, surely you jest! Anyway, it’s great to hear from and see Doris Day again. Doris, about ten different important awards shows and events want to honor you, if only you’ll say yes–from the Grammys to the Oscars to the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

That's something you don't hear every day, but I'd forgotten that Ms. Day's late son was in the music business.

It's nice to hear from Doris Day. She looks great and I'm glad she's in good health.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time we've heard from her since the death of her son Terry Melcher.

I believe it is...at least, it's the first time since then that I remember hearing from her...

Is that a current pic of her though? I once saw a pic of her they caught in public several years ago and she looked pretty bad. That pic posted in this thread looks to be older but I could be wrong.

Yes, she has given other interviews since her son's death, including these this year:

I'm assuming you're referring to the picture below in the gray slacks, sunglasses and straw hat. I remember seeing that, too. Obviously you have to consider the source, which is a tabloid. And tabloids care only about showing celebrities in the worst light because they like to destroy them. So they sneak a picture when they're the least prepared. The second pic is another tabloid shot, and the third is a normal posed shot, the kind respectful photographers take when their subjects know their picture is being taken and can be prepared. Catching Ms. Day in casual clothes running afternoon errands, like we all do sometimes, is not quite fair. Seriously, does she need to be dressed up to go to Home Depot? Let the woman live in peace. She's 87, for crying out loud.

You probably know the story, but he was actually the intended target of the Manson Family's attack at Roman Polanski's house.
