I honestly genuinely meant that Bruce must have been saddened by the passing of Doris, blimey - After all he must have had an awful lot of contact through the years with his lengthy association with her son Terry Melcher and also not withstanding his very successful compilation of Doris out takes a few years ago AND the fact that they have been near neighbours in Carmel SO YES he would have been saddened at the news
I got it at face value, that you genuinely meant Bruce will be sad, not as some elaborate hint at "surfing Doris Days" phrase which didn't even match what you said, else you'd say it in joking manner. Thanks to confirm I got it right, Mr. Dean.
Re: Doris cutting 2 yrs to seem young - actually, it isn't the case:
For most of her life, Day reportedly believed she had been born in 1924 and reported her age accordingly; it was not until her 95th birthday — when the Associated Press found her birth certificate, showing a 1922 date of birth — that she learned otherwise.
