Truman Capote once famous quipped of Doris Day "I knew her before she was a virgin". Though Day became famous as the All American Housewife in film, her personal life was rocky. It was to be more tragedy than bedroom farce.

The woman who was to play Rock Hudson's partner in Hollywood bedroom follies was born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff in April 3, 1924. By 17 she'd become involved with jazz trombonist Al Jordon. He proved to be a dubious escape method from the mid west. For instance he liked to humiliated her and beat her up. He also wasn't very family minded. When young Doris announced that she was pregnant, Al demanded an abortion. When Day refused, Jordon moved on to Plan B - murder.

Mere weeks before her due date, Jordon bough a gun, which he hid in the glove compartment of his car. He then talked Day into going out for a drive. When they reached a suitably isolated spot, Jordon pulled over, took out the gun, and jammed it into Day's belly. miraculously day managed to talk him out of doing anything rash.

Not surprisingly the couple went their separate ways. That led to Day's next disastrous relationship, with saxophonist George Weilder. That hook up lasted 3 years, and then it was on to her agent Marty Melcher. Melcher is generally described as an angry and controlling man. He is also believed to have squandered much of Day's $132 million fortune. IN fact he was a little too controlling for the usual divorce option. Day didn't get clear of him until he died of a heart attack in 1968.

After that, there was her Larry Fortensky episode. In 1976 she married the maitre d' of her favorite restaurant. That fellow was named Barry Comden, and that arrangement lasted for all of 5 years. Some wonder what Day could've seen in him. For a hard up actress, he might've proved an excellent way to get a good table, and to duck the bill!

Doris Day always longed to be the kind of woman she portrayed on film. She longed for that kind of ideal domestic and marital bliss. She never made it. Now 84, Day lives as a virtual recluse in LA. However you needn't worry too much about her financial situation. Her son by Marty became a record exec, who worked with the Beach Boys, among other notable acts. That leads to another incident in the history of Hollywood. It is believed that when the Manson Gang butchered Sharon Tate and her friends, they were actually after Beach Boy Denis Wilson, who lived a few doors down. Seems that Crazy Charlie was upset about some record deal with Wilson and Melcher that had gone sour. Since Manson's groupies were drugged out of brain washed their heads, they mixed up the addresses.

As for Denis Wilson, though he escaped the Manson Family, he too was to die tragically. In 1983 he drowned while swimming near his yacht. He was drunk at the time, and ME's believe that lead to a freak incident of oxygen deprivation. He was literally too drunk to notice he was drowning, and by the time he tried to surface, it was too late. He passed out beneath the waves. So Hollywood is tied together in a strange web of family, and tragedy.

Wondertrash Bogus Zen: We put people on pedestals so that we can have the fun of tearing them down; the world gives us everything so that it can have the pleasure of taking it away from us. What use is cruelty if the victim doesn't notice? - Ignorance is bliss. So remember to forget.

If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.

Coming soon to Wondertrash: Using Pi as a key to decode crop circles.

They're not like 'Earth language', but more like universal languages such as music & mathematics, and all about ratios and relationality. You won't believe what 'they' are trying to tell us!

Note the similarity to Indian yantras, or Tibetean Buddhist mandalas. They are 'trans symbolic', since even symbolic/picture language uses pictures/symbols as content. If you concentrate on 'content', and try to decypher the circles as symbols, you get lost. It's like looking at a musical score, and trying to figure out what the notes 'mean'.

In this case the medium is the message. Any extra terristerial communication would naturally use universal languages, like math or music; and not words or symbols. They would also have a basic key to decode them, that might be known to any relatively advanced culture, like Pi.
