Doris Day's Heartwarming Journey: A Life Dedicated To Animals And Fans
Life for the legendary Doris Day continues to be a beautiful, heartfelt journey. In a recent exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, her close friend Pierre Patrick shared some heartwarming insights. "She's doing exceptionally well," Pierre revealed with a smile. "Doris is in great health, and she still hums those timeless melodies that we all adore." Doris, at 96 years old, remains a beacon of positivity and charm.
Devotion to Animals and Fans
Pierre opened up about the everyday life of this iconic star, emphasizing her unwavering dedication to animals and her fans. "For Doris, it's all about the animals and the people who love her work," he confessed. As a lifelong advocate for animal rights, Doris Day has made significant strides through her foundation. Recently, the Doris Day Animal Foundation spearheaded a campaign to ban greyhound racing in Florida, a resolution that triumphed overwhelmingly in November. "She worked tirelessly for this cause," Pierre noted with pride. "It was a monumental victory for her and for the animals." This win is a testament to her enduring passion for animal welfare.
Doris's love for her fans and animals runs deep, often intertwining in her life's celebrations. She has spent many birthdays surrounded by admirers while raising awareness for animal welfare. "I’ve never been one for grand celebrations," Doris shared candidly with Closer after her 95th birthday in April 2017. "But I’m thrilled that so many have made it an annual tradition to come to Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA, to celebrate my birthday and help raise money for my Doris Day Animal Foundation." It’s a heartfelt way to bring her passions together.

Supporting Her Foundation Through Music
Even today, Doris continues to find innovative ways to support her animal foundation. A new three-CD expanded edition of her classic 1965 album Latin for Lovers has been reissued, with proceeds benefiting her foundation. "There’s a bonus CD filled with extra tracks," Pierre revealed with excitement. "It’s a brand-new holiday treat for her fans." This reissue is not just music—it's a way to celebrate Doris’s legacy and continue her mission of kindness.
Doris spends countless hours reading and cherishing the fan letters she receives from all corners of the globe. "Her mail holds immense importance for her," Pierre shared. From her serene home in central California, "She stays connected with people in Hollywood or Beverly Hills over the phone. And she’s always welcoming friends who come to visit." It’s clear that Doris values her connections with others, even as she enjoys her quiet life.
A Change of Heart
Recently, Doris has been revisiting some of her classic films on Turner Classic Movies. "She used to hate watching her movies, always thinking there was something wrong with them," Pierre explained. "But recently, she’s been watching them almost as a spectator, enjoying them fully. She’s come to realize just how incredible they truly are!" This shift in perspective is a beautiful reminder of how we can grow to appreciate our own work with time and distance.
