Actress Doris Day Turns 90

Doris Day is 90! Day spoke to Closer magazine about her nine decades of life, saying that she has nothing but appreciation for all she has done in her lifetime, according to ABC News.

“All I ever wanted in my life was to get married, have kids, keep house and cook, and even though I did all these things, I still ended up in Hollywood. It was a great trip. I’ve had an amazing life and wonderful times. And I’m happy!”

Day resides in California and told the magazine that she has been “blessed with good health” and is active to this day. She said she does have some aches and pains though.

“I love to be outside, walking along the beach or working in my garden,” she said. “Those things are all quite enjoyable for me. I have everything I could ever want right here in Carmel!”

Since she enjoys a low-key life, Day said that there will not be a major birthday bash this year. To celebrate, she will host a dog fashion show at the hotel she owns close to her home. It is being held to raise money for her charity, Doris Day Animal Foundation.

“I’ve never been a fan of celebrating my own birthdays,” she explained. “[And] helping animals has been a lifelong passion. They give us unconditional love and ask very little in return.”
