[edit] Biography

Kaufman's forthcoming book on Doris Day, Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door, ISBN 1905264305 will be published on June 10, 2008 by Virgin Books. The book was excerpted, in an article titled "Doris Day's Vanishing Act", in the May 2008 issue of Vanity Fair. Kaufman interviewed more than 175 people in the course of his research. Strangely, it bears exactly the same cover as theDavid Bret biography, Doris Day: Reluctant Star, published four weeks ahead of the Kaufman book by JR Books of London, and assigned the cover several months beforehand.
