RIP !!

Attachment 25549

A class act to the end. We will miss you.

Now it's time to say goodbye
To all our company
M-I-C, See you real soon
K-E-Y, Why? Because we like you
M-O-U-S-E

I remember watching reruns of the original Mickey Mouse Club when I was a young boy. I always enjoyed the show and that was in large part to Annette Funicello. My mom told me back then that my dad had the biggest crush on Annette when he was growing up (this freaked me out a bit since I didn't understand the concept of reruns back then). My dad maintained that crush until today. I have always been able to understand his feelings as Annette was truly a class act. When I heard the news I immediately thought of how it would affect my dad. Sure enough, he's saddened by the news.

Rest peacefully Mouseketeer. There is no more pain, only dancing in the clouds.

I remember as well, god I feel old. [gohome]

I remember watching reruns of Mickey Mouse Club as I was growing up.
I have to wonder- do kids have anybody like Annette Funicello for a role model? (I understand there is nobody like her, but isn't there anybody similar?)

May she R.I.P.

Classy Lady

I know what you mean; I had a huge crush on her before I understood the concept of reruns -- very sad to find out she was my mother's age! Annette was always a class act; later Mouseketeers would have done well to follow her example rather than become the skanks they did.

This.. HAHAHAH. Me too bro. Big bummer. Maybe it was the fact that we had BW TV for years after color came around.
