This was in some press today.
Singer/actress DORIS DAY once embarked on a whirlwind affair with late American baseball player MICKEY MANTLE, according to an upcoming book.Ms. Day is still alive, too. Anyway, it inspired a thread over at BTF. It makes for pretty funny reading.
American author David Kaufman clams in his tell-all tome Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door that Day met Mantle on the set of 1962 movie That Touch of Mink.
He writes, "A notorious womaniser, Mantle boasted to friends that not only had he slept with Day at his regular suite in New York's St. Moritz Hotel, but that she was 'one of the best f**ks of his life.'"
However, a spokeswoman for Day has refused to comment on the reports.
This picture of course is the alleged 'moment of seduction', caught on film. There she is, perched right next to a bored looking Mick.Hilarious. I think the story holds fascination in the same way that Joe Dimaggio married Marylin Monroe, except there's something incredibly cheesey about the combo of Doris and Mick.
Yet deep inside of us all, we'd all like to be Mickey Mantle giving it to Doris Day.
Gotta go off to work now.
