Doris Day (Doris Mary Ann Kappelhof)

Popular singer and retired romantic comedy film actress Doris Day received
an Academy Award for her performance in the 1959 movie “Pillow Talk” with
Rock Hudson. She fibbed about her age so she could sing professionally
with big bands. In 1989 Doris Day was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award for
lifetime achievement in motion pictures. In 2004, she was awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush for her work
on behalf of animal welfare. Since her retirement from films, Doris Day has
lived in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California where she has many pets and adopts
stray animals.

On this day in 1970, President Richard Nixon signs legislation
officially banning cigarette ads on television and radio. Nixon,
who was an avid pipe smoker, indulging in as many as eight
bowls a day, supported the legislation at the increasing
insistence of public health advocates.
