Day was born Doris Mary Ann von Kappelhoff in Evanston, Ohio to German immigrants.
Day started out as a dancer, winning a contract that enabled her to travel to Hollywood, California with her partner, Jerry Doherty, in 1936, but turned to singing when she injured her leg in an auto accident in 1937.
