- W1567491957 abstract "Even now, forty years after Doris Day's last film and twenty since her last regular television appearances, star's name retains currency: she is often invoked as shorthand for a kind of sexuality now felt outmoded, with virginity firmly maintained until marriage. Although this assumption is widespread, close attention to facts of Day's own life challenges it, and majority of her film roles also prove otherwise, with Day most frequently portraying a woman of maturely sexual desires. This book investigates why rigid view of Day's maintained virginity should have arisen and become so fixed to star, one of most popular in American cinema during 1950s and 1960s. Despite this popularity, and longevity of Day's career, work on star is curiously meagre. Correcting this oversight, project also questions it, suggesting dearth of critical material results from passe sexual rectitude Day seemingly evokes. Taking a twofold approach, book both closely examines Day's film roles and performances, and explores material from other popular media for source of myth. Day featured continuously in public discourse, and media stories were often devoted to her personal life: it was widely known that she had been married three times and had a son. Why then did pejorative label, the forty year old virgin arise, and why has it stuck so tenaciously to Day, even now? Investigating a range of sources in order to discover why this maturely sexual star has become indelibly associated with maintained virginity, book first analyses Day's characters and performances across her thirty-eight films in detail. After this close look within films and Day's subsequent TV work, project focuses on contemporary popular culture contexts. Using a variety of sources, including newspaper stories, articles from film, fan and lifestyle magazines, reviews and gossip, developments in Day's screen persona are charted, highlighting changes in public perception, as aided and abetted by media." @default.
