Doreen Tracey, one of the original Mouseketeers on Disney’s popular after-school program “The Mickey Mouse Club” and later an associate of avante-garde composer and musician Frank Zappa, has died. She was 74.
Tracey, who long described herself as the “black sheep” of the 1950s children’s show, died Wednesday while being treated for pneumonia at a hospital in Thousand Oaks.
A bubbly child and Type A personality, Tracey was featured on “The Mickey Mouse Club” during the entirety of its original 1955-59 run on ABC. The show lived on in syndication and she maintained a lifelong association with Disney, appearing in a spinoff with Annette Funicello, the actress and singer, as well as films such as “Westward Ho the Wagons!” with Fess Parker.

I guess it wasn't funny then either.
I saw reruns of these Mickey Mouse shows only 7 years after it went off the air and it amazes me how old and ancient it looked to my 7 yr old eyes. Time was moving faster back then.
Not for us that lived then. You will learn when 2018 seems like another planet in the future. 8>)
I was eight when it debuted. Great show.
Thanks.
RIP.
