Thanks PRR. I use to be in love with her. Use to tune into the MM club after school in the 50's and she was the reason. She always maintained a pure image throughout her life and I appreciated that about her. Plate

Good Italian girl (born in NY USA). You should know her.

Don't listen. LOOK.

She was good on stage; but in the last year of the show she "blossomed". Disney tried to hide her bazongas under the loose sweatshirt, but my dad became a big fan of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Annette Funicello
By Richard Lacayo
TIME Magazine
Monday, Apr. 22, 2013

She was more than just one of the original Mouseketeers. From the time the Mickey Mouse Club debuted in 1955, with her as one of 24 perky club kids, the 12-year-old Annette Funicello was on her way to becoming, as she once called herself, the "queen of teen." But though her adolescence was cheerful, charming and squeaky clean, she couldn't help but become a key figure in the history of male sexual longing. To a generation of pubescent boys, long before the show was canceled in 1959, her mouse ears had started to seem like semiotic outposts of her emerging breasts. Yet she declined to play the temptress. In the early 1960s, after she graduated to movies, she was to self-restraint what Marilyn Monroe was to seduction. When she moved on to the mildly suggestive antics of the Beach Party pictures, she retained her sly poise, making puppy love seem plausible, even in a world where most of the puppies were dogs at heart.

Though Funicello largely withdrew from show business after her first marriage in 1965, America kept a soft spot for her, especially after she made public her struggle with multiple sclerosis in 1992. She was 70 when the disease took her life on April 8.

I thought Disney had all the old films locked-up on DVD sales.

No, here's a very young Annette in a dramatic role:
Annette Serial Mickey Mouse Club Episode One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBdjRxD22gU#)

Television used to be slower. The first 2:25 are very boring. Annette enters at 2:26-2:43 and you can tell the camera was told to make a big deal of it. Right AT 2:43 is a genuine 1957 Hot Rod; I wish we saw it better. 4:40 Annette makes another entrance.

BTW: at the time, Annette was much too old for me. I liked Karen (http://www.originalmmc.com/karen.html).

PRR,

While I liked Annette, she was in an early 60's Disney movie called the Horsemasters with Janet Munroe - sigh...
