When filming in Morocco for "The Man Who Knew Too Much" it was during Ramadan.

When the animals used in the scenes were clearly suffering, she inquired why.

Turned out, the animals were being refused water during the day, along with the observant Muslims.

Well, she went on strike, refusing to work on the picture any more, until that policy was changed.

The animals got their water!

Screen and song legend Doris Day will celebrate her 97th birthday on April 3 with her favorite sweet treat: Edy’s slow-churned chocolate fudge ice cream.

“Doris will be spending a quiet birthday at home again this year surrounded by a few close friends,” her business manager Bob Bashara tells PEOPLE. “She always gets lots of phone calls wishing her happy birthday. And, in the evening, she’ll enjoy a special birthday dinner followed by cake and ice cream.”

Ahead of her birthday, her adopted hometown of Carmel-By-The-Sea, California, where she moved in the 70s, is hosting the Doris Day Animal Foundation Annual Benefit on Thursday, March 28 at the Cypress Inn.

Loved DD. I found her one summer when I was sick and indoors watching lots of old movies.
