RIP, Annette! Thanks for the wonderful memories!
That’s so weird. I just had a dream 2 days ago that she stole my car to joyride to Disneyland.
No more late night hamburgers for me.
...sad Annette ping....
RIP
I would have melted. She was my very first crush.
I remember when she had her tonsils removed. She ate something and her throat started bleeding. She was rushed to the hospital while we Mouseketeer fans waited to find out if she was okay.
Now THAT is beauty and class.... RIP Annette, from this lifelong fan.
Woolworth’s..WOW I haven’t heard that store mentioned in ages..those were the days..and Montgomery Ward too!
I grew up on the Mickey Mouse Club in the late ‘50s, early ‘60s. Pieces of my childhood are dropping off the grid. Sally Starr died a couple of years ago, and that was a kick in the stomach, too.
The loss of two women, beloved for completely different reasons...
She had such beauty and class. Compare that to today’s young females who “graduate” from young, friendly, wholesome images to rapper filth clothing, porn images, and gutter street language.
Some of the Annette’s old Beach Party movies were on TBS a few months ago, and you just had to ask yourself “what were they thinking” when you saw her hairdo. The odd thing is I was 15 when those movies those movies came out, and I can’t remember what I was thinking then either.
“Now it’s time to say good-bye to all our company...”
LOL. Oh yeah. We called it Monkey Wards! Annette even told us the brand of mascara she used and the rouge too. We rushed right over to Woolworth’s! Man, we were thrilled!
I just feel numb and so sad.
I am praying for her sweet soul and her family.
This is such a sad day.
Annette originally was from here, Utica, NY. My Dad was a meat cutter at Utica’s Grand Union and worked with her aunt. I missed her by 5 minutes when she was home for a visit and visited her aunt at work.
I’m sure they kept the trashy stories from her!
Why bother with such filth?
God bless her.
She never hurt anybody!
I remember reading that Annette had a teen crush on Guy Williams, Walt Disney’s “Zorro”, so for her birthday Disney gave her a part on several episodes of “Zorro”. I saw those episodes, and she did great.
I was just talking about her yesterday with DrO! It’s like a premonition....scary.
Talk about Obama, just briefly, please, let’s see what happens to the worthless Kenyan.
