Annette Funicello
Annette Funicello passed away today after a very long struggle with MS. Monday used to be Fun with Music Day on The Mickey Mouse Club. Bless her for leaving us with some treasured pleasant memories.
I love all the Mousketeer videos. Annette was great friends with Jimmy Dodd so at least she will be with him now </3
ReplyDeleteAnnette was such a joyful presence in our lives. A first crush for the fellas, and an idealized big sister in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky that we still have her in movies and records to brighten the dark times.
I'm not old enough to have every watched the beach movies when they first came out, but they were on TV all the time when I was a kid. I loved them.
ReplyDeleteShe will be remembered for years to come.
