Laraine Day, born La Raine Johnson on October 13, 1920, was an American actress whose career spanned several decades. She is best known for her work in classic Hollywood films during the 1930s and 1940s. Day made her mark with appearances in notable movies like Foreign Correspondent (1940) and the Story of Dr. Wassell (1944).

However, what often garners more attention than her filmography is her personal life, particularly her marriage to the famous baseball manager Leo Durocher. In 1947, Day and Durocher tied the knot, creating a media frenzy due to the controversial circumstances. Durocher had recently divorced his second wife, and his relationship with Day was widely covered in the press.

Their marriage was marked by ups and downs, with Durocher's high-profile career and Day's film commitments often keeping them apart. Despite the challenges, they remained married until 1960, after which Laraine Day went on to marry other men, while Leo Durocher continued his baseball career.
