Page "Doris Day" Paragraph 36

* Her fourth and last marriage was to Barry Comden ( born 1935 – died 2009 ), who was roughly a decade younger, from April 14, 1976 until 1981.

Comden was the maitre d ' at one of Day's favorite restaurants.

Knowing of her great love of dogs, Comden endeared himself to Day by giving her a bag of meat scraps and bones on her way out of the restaurant.

When this marriage unraveled, Comden complained that Day cared more for her " animal friends " than she did for him.
