She was once "America's sweetheart", along with '60's hearthrob Frankie Avalon, having starred in several Beach movies together, and being a former Mouseketeer when she was a young girl.
Of Italian decent, Annette Funicello's singing and dancing abilities landed here also in some television roles as well as a musical or two. Unfortunately, in her later years, she developed symtoms of MS (Multiple Sclerosis), that eventually would leave her with limited mobility. In the end, the 70 year old former child star fought bravely to the end.
Rest in peace, Annette. For those who remember you, we remember you well.
