The 'Pillow Talk' star turned 92 today (03.04.16) but insists she doesn't worry about her age, as how she feels inside is what is important.

She said: "I'm not really fond of birthdays anymore.

"Age is just a number. How you feel and live your life is more important."

Doris planned to spend today with a few close friends and her beloved pets but yesterday (02.04.16), the Doris Day Animal Foundation threw a party and fundraiser in her honour in order to raise money for their work.

She added in a statement to People magazine: "The Doris Day Animal Foundation team is putting on another big celebration

"And I am so grateful and honoured that fans and friends come from all over the world to help support the precious four-leggers."

The 'Que Sera, Sera' singer previously admitted she still feels "young at heart".

Speaking in 2011, she said: "I love life. I have my pets around me and good friends. I'm young at heart and I love to laugh. There's nothing better."

Despite having many happy memories to look back on, Doris - who has been divorced three times and was left devastated by the death of her son Terry Melcher in 2004 - previously admitted she carries a lot of "sorrow".

She said: "I have had a lot of sorrow, and I still feel that."
