# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff in 1922, she started as a big band singer in 1937 and broke through in 1945 with two No. 1 hits, "Sentimental Journey" and "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time," singing with Les Brown. She went solo and recorded more than 650 songs over two decades, her voice bright and unmistakable. Her film debut came in 1948 with Romance on the High Seas, and by the late 1950s she'd become a box-office anchor — the title role in Calamity Jane, a Hitchcock thriller, then three comedies opposite Rock Hudson that made her a household fixture, including Pillow Talk, which earned her an Oscar nomination. After her last film in 1968 she ran a sitcom for five years, then stepped away from Hollywood entirely. She spent her later decades advocating for animals, founding organizations that carried her name and her single-minded focus on their welfare until her death in 2019.
