Hollywood icon Doris Day has died at the age of 97, according to her foundation.

The screen legend was one of the biggest female stars of her time, and starred in blockbusters including Calamity Jane.

The Doris Day Animal Foundation confirmed the singer and actress died early on Monday at her home in Carmel Valley, California.

The foundation said in a statement that the animal rights activist was surrounded by close friends and “had been in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia.”

Her wholesome screen presence stood for a time of innocence in 1950s and 1960s movies. She starred in romantic comedies Pillow Talk, Midnight Laceand Love Me or Leave Me, acting alongside leading men including Clark Gable, Cary Grant and Rock Hudson.
