Day celebrated her special day Sunday with friends in Carmel, California, according to the publication. An avid animal activist, Day earlier told the mag that she's "not really fond of birthdays anymore."

"Age is just a number," she said. "How you feel and live your life is more important. But again this year, the Doris Day Animal Foundation team is putting on another big celebration and I am so grateful and honored that fans and friends come from all over the world to help support the precious four-leggers."

Fans hailed her for both her work and her youthful exuberance.
