Today is the "Que Sera Sera" singer's birthday.
A copy of her birth certificate reveals that Doris - nee Doris Mary Kappelhoff - was actually born on 3 April, 1922, making her 95, reported The Independent.
Talking about solving the mystery of her real age, Doris said in a statement, "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!"
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."
Doris and veteran actress Betty White are close friends and this finding makes the two as old as each other.
Walter quipped, "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.
