Doris Day, the singer and actress whose film dramas, musicals and comedies made her a top star in the 1950s and '60s and among the most popular screen actresses in history, has died at the age of 97, reports the Associated Press.In 1966, Day recorded "One Chance," a safety PSA for North American Rockwell employees working on Apollo. From the Texas Archive of the Moving Image: In the 1966 film "The Glass Bottom Boat," Jennifer (played by Doris Day) works in public relations at a NASA facility in Long Beach, California. While helping her father out with his glass-bottom boat business, she meets Bruce Templeton, a researcher at the same facility. When Bruce begins to court Jennifer, however, the security chief at the facility suggests that Jennifer might actually be a Russian spy. When Jennifer finds out about this, hijinx ensue. In this short film from Rockwell International, Doris Day simultaneously promotes "Glass Bottom Boat" and implores employees working on the Apollo spacecraft to be "extra, extra careful." As she explains, when making a movie they have multiple tries to get a scene right, but this luxury does not exist when launching astronauts into space. |

.Another rare clip that I had not been aware of until today. My thanks Robert to you and the many others on this board, who take the time to unearth and post these gems. Doris Day was a talented artist and by all accounts a decent and caring individual. |

Interesting footage. Loved "Calamity Jane" as a kid of the 1950's. Many years later met her co-star Howard Keel after a concert in Northampton when we took my mother. She was enthralled to meet him and he didn't disappoint. A true star along with Doris Day, as they say "they don't make them like that anymore." RIP |
