Actors Who Died Within Days Of Each Other

Doris Day died on May 13, 2019, nearly 40 years after she retired show business. She was one of the most popular performers in the world during her heyday in the '50s and '60s as a true singing/dancing/acting triple threat. In 1956, she became the only person to ever score a No. 1 hit on the charts at the same time she was in the No. 1 box office hit. That song became her signature hit, "Que Sera, Sera," which she also sang in the Alfred Hitchcock film "The Man Who Knew Too Much." She was equally adept at comedy ("Please Don't Eat the Daisies") and romance ("Love Me or Leave Me"), with her perky, upbeat personality a constant draw. She earned a Golden Globe for "The Doris Day Show" in the late '60s, which was her last credit as an actor.

Tim Conway died on May 14, 2019, after a long and varied career. He was best known for his bone-dry, deadpan sense of humor on the '70s sketch comedy "The Carol Burnett Show," where he frequently caused his co-stars to break. He co-starred with Don Knotts in several gentle family comedy films like "The Apple Dumpling Gang," went on tour with Harvey Korman reprising their classic "Carol Burnett Show" sketches, and reinvented himself yet again with his "Dorf" videos in the '80s. He became popular with a younger generation by voicing Barnacle Boy on "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the '00s.
