(FOX NEWS) – Doris Day, Hollywood’s sweetheart and one of its most popular stars of the 1950s and ’60s, died early Monday at age 97 after battling a case of pneumonia.

Day was among the most popular screen actresses in history, starring in dramas, musicals and innocent sex comedies alongside leading men such as Frank Sinatra, Rock Hudson, Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney and Clark Gable.

Though Day’s last film role was in the 1968 comedy “With Six You Get Eggroll,” the singer-actress has remained an icon of old Hollywood. She continues to be remembered for her versatile performances, one of which (1959’s “Pillow Talk”) earned her an Oscar nomination.

“Star Trek” actor George Takei remembered Day as being “synonymous with Hollywood icon.”
