Doris Day and 7 other celebrities in their 90s
Doris Day celebrates her landmark 95th birthday today.
— -- Doris Day is celebrating another birthday today, and it turns out she's older than she thought.
The original Rom-Com star of such films as "Pillow Talk" and "Move Over Darling" turns 95, a surprise even to Day, who had long linked her age to a 1924 birth date -- which would have made her 93.
Instead, The Associated Press obtained a copy of her birth certificate showing that Doris Mary Kappelhoff was actually born on April 3, 1922.
"I've always said that age is just a number and I have never paid much attention to birthdays, but it's great to finally know how old I really am!" Day said in a statement to ABC News.
"There has long been speculation and rumors about Doris' age and we get this question a lot, looks like we finally have the answer," Day's spokesman, Charley Cullen Walters, told ABC News. "The story I have heard the most is that at one point Doris was up for a role when quite young and her age may have been miswritten on the audition form. We don't know if that's correct, but if so it could've simply stuck for all these years."
Now that Day's actual age has been confirmed, it puts her closer to other celebrities, including good friend Betty White, who was born Jan. 17, 1922.
"Now we know that they are actually just a couple months apart, and turns out it's an even bigger exciting landmark than we thought," Walters said.
Day's one birthday wish this year is to continue helping animals through her Doris Day Animal Foundation. She's asking fans to upload video or pictures of them with their pets on social media -- along with the hashtag #DorisBirthdayWish -- to @ddaf_org, and include any donation they wish to give.
Walters said the foundation has received more than 500 posts, including one from country singer Reba McEntire.
Here are seven other celebrities who are members of the age 90 club and beyond:
