Classy girl. RIP.
I don’t know her politics, being in Hollywood, but she kept it quiet, which is how it should be.
RIP Ms. Annette. Many great 1950’s memory’s of you.
Godspeed and RIP you gorgeous Mouseketeer. You were my heartthrob a long time ago.
May she rest in peace. A beautiful lady inside and out.
Rest in Peace, Annette.
May her soul rest in peace in the hands of God.
Apologies for my dupe post Kartographer. I did a search, found nothing, but by the time I posted, there yours was.
No problem with me a classy lady and as said by another FReeper a first hearthrob for many of us.
If you look up “Lady” in your Funk & Wagnall’s, you’ll likely find a picture of Annette.
She made this young boy’s heart go “pitty-pat” back in the day.
R.I.P. “Pineapple Princess”
My first true love. I was too young to understand why at the time, but as we all grew older I finally came to understand true beauty; both inside and out.
Go with God Annette.
C you real soon!
Doesn’t she have a bunch of kids and by now grandkids? She will be missed.
70 is young but she suffered from a debilitating disease. May her precious soul reside with God in heaven forever.
Hope she’s OK. Wonder if Paul Anka’s going to shoot his mouth off about her again. Dork.
RIP Annette, your now in the arms of our Lord. Say hello to Mr Disney and now you earned your Golden Micky Mouse Ears and is now dwelling in a real life heavenly version of Disneyland.
