Doris Day celebrates her 96th birthday and she looks amazing

Actor, singer, and activist, Doris Day, is most famously known for her award-winning roles during Hollywood's Golden Era.

On April 3, 2018, Day will celebrate her 96th birthday. The community of Carmel-by-the-Sea, where she lives, is planning to throw a weekend birthday bash in her honor.

As reported by People, the event will also be used to raise funds for the Doris Day Animal Foundation, as animal welfare is dear to her heart.

The party started on Thursday, March 29, 2018, with a bingo night at the Cypress Inn, followed by a performance of Day's most celebrated songs by Scott Dreier.

“I am blessed with good health and [...] fans who have traveled so far to help raise money for the precious four-leggers. It means a great deal to me, and I am so grateful for their support.”
