How Doris Day is planning to celebrate her birthday

Doris is planning to have a small, quiet celebration with a small group of her nearest and dearest at her home in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Her rep told People about the upcoming birthday party:

Doris will be spending a quiet birthday at home again this year surrounded by a few close friends.

She always gets lots of phone calls wishing her happy birthday. And, in the evening, she’ll enjoy a special birthday dinner followed by cake and ice cream.

For her, age is just a number

For Doris, age really is just a number, as she didn’t know her real age until 2017!

A copy of her birth certificate surfaced and revealed that she’s two years older than she had thought. Here’s what Doris said in a statement at the time:

I’ve always said that age is just a number. I have never paid much attention to birthdays, but it’s great to finally know how old I really am!
