вЂњVisiting her in her Californian home was like going to an animal sanctuary where her many dogs were taken care of in splendid style,вЂќ he said in a statement. Paul McCartney, a friend, called Day вЂњa true star in more ways than one.вЂќ вЂњShe is an icon in the animal protection world and will be sorely missed for her singular advocacy,вЂќ Amundson said. Her foresight вЂњled to dozens of bills, final rules and policies on the federal level,вЂќ which helped end abusive videos, protect chimpanzees from invasive research and regulate the online sale of puppies. In 1987, Day вЂњfounded one of the first national animal protection organizations dedicated to legislative remedies for the worst animal abuse,вЂќ said the leagueвЂ™s executive director, Sara Amundson. The Humane Society of the United States, of which The Doris Day Animal League is an affiliate, praised Day as a pioneer in animal protection. The running joke, attributed to both Groucho Marx and actor-composer Oscar Levant, was that they had known Day вЂњbefore she was a virgin.вЂќ Right down to her cheerful, alliterative stage name, she stood for the eraвЂ™s ideal of innocence and G-rated love, a parallel world to her contemporary Marilyn Monroe. Over time, she became more than a name above the title. With her lilting contralto, fresh-faced beauty and glowing smile, Day was a top box-office draw and recording artist known for comedies such as вЂњPillow TalkвЂќ and вЂњThat Touch of Mink,вЂќ as well as songs like вЂњWhatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)вЂќ from the Alfred Hitchcock film вЂњThe Man Who Knew Too Much.вЂќ She requested that no memorial services be held and no grave marker erected. Her Doris Day Animal Foundation confirmed her death at her Carmel Valley, California, home.Дay вЂњhad been in excellent physical health for her ageвЂќ but had recently contracted pneumonia, the foundation said in a statement. In more recent years, Day had been an animal rights advocate.
