Doris Day, the bubbly, blonde actress and singer who starred in “Pillow Talk” and other romantic comedies in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and who later became an animal-welfare advocate, has died. She was 97.
She died Monday at her home in Carmel Valley, California, according to the Associated Press, citing the Doris Day Animal Foundation. “Day had been in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia, resulting in her death,” the foundation said in an emailed statement.
