BOY, Did all of us kids of that era love Annette. She was the greatest girl of the time. An absolute phenomenon. I still love her to this day. She was my first and forever crush. I still watch the beach movies. Makes me cry to think of what happened to her.
She was such a beautiful, talented person, and a wonderful, wholesome role model. She could also melt hearts like no one in Hollywood before or since. Fly high little angel!
I absolutely adored Annette( loved her in Beach Party movies & Micky Mouse show) & “still” adore this talented courageous woman! So sad she passed away so young! Such a huge loss!😢
Are you sure? Was she a Genuine Bible Believing Born Again Christian who actually Received the Biblical Lord Jesus Christ as Personal Saviour? Do you actually know what the Holy Bible says about what a person needs to do to escape Hell and be sure of Eternal Life in Heaven?

Wonderful, sweet memories! My God, what a different era?? .... Generation, 1950's?? .... Ms Funicello is still with folks .... if only in their hearts! 🥰💥💫
You are so right! I enjoyed watching those Beach Party movies in the early ‘60’s( best times ever to be a teenager) & watching Micky Mouse club in late ‘50’s! I too still watch the Beach Party movies, just as you do Sandra! 😀Best memories!
At least you’re free of the MS (multiple sclerosis), Annette. I bet you’re flying with with angel wings all over heaven looking down on us. I wish I could’ve met you. You seem like a nice woman and role model everybody. Even though you’re gone, you’re still in our hearts FOREVER! I’ll bet you’re bonding with the other deceased Mouseketeers, plus Princess Diana. And, of course, with Walt Disney himself!
The Skippy peanut butter commercials is how I heard of Annette. I remember seeing them on TV as a child. I saw her several years later on Full House when she and Frankie Avalon made a guest appearance. When I grew up, I eventually got to know what kind of special person she was. As an adult, I became an admirer of her. She as a kind, wholesome woman who never did any wrong. She had strength to put up with MS in her later years and it's sad that she eventually died of it. I'm glad to have gotten to know the great woman she was.
Having researched her death long after the event, Annette died a horrible death. Previously, she even had lost the ability to talk. Eventually she required around the clock care. There is no telling of what kind of a mental state that she was in, when she had to endure such a horrible existence for a couple of years. The records are public. All you have to do is google it on the Web as well as in Wikipedia.
@Nikol S. Ervant -- The topic of this video was her death. Duh! Plus, I read the comment from 'Southern Playero'. Unlike the adult Mouseketeers, I am NOT going to lie to you. Jimmie Dodd was asleep when he was visited in Hawaii and died the very next day.
It was in a time where all the cast was white . Sure, all white Moms had to do was bring their white kids to an all white audition . I'm I trying to be racist ? No I'm not . I'm not a black person , but I must say that those days , she had no competition . That's why I never felt any admiration for her .
OK already. Yes it was a different time. There was a time when one had a last name that ended in a vowel you were a persona non grata.If you were an Irish-Catholic there were signs not to allow them in..American Indians were considered stupid...I know there very few Black faces on TV or in movies. I think we've grown up and we need to put the past behind us, suck up and look to the future. Annette wanted to change her last name but Mr. Disney talked her out of it and told her to be proud of her family's past. Look at the talent of the time and enjoy it without your bias and prejudice.😁😁
southern Playero Are you really going to begrudge her, at least when a child, for not being Black? She HAD charisma. I was little when she was a Mouskateer & LOVED her... straight away I saw her.
No competition??? That's ridiculous. It's like saying no one competes in homogeneous countries like Japan, Norway, Finland or China because everyone looks alike. There will always be competition among a group of more than five people because it's human nature. Even if only whites appeared on TV, there were millions of them and not everyone who wanted a chance in Hollywood got a chance.
You're an idiot. She was beautiful inside and out, while you are vicious inside and out - she had a kind of magnetism that drew people to her, she didn't have to try to become a Star, the public demand for her took care of that.

Still watch them. Glorious 60s. Sand surf sun and cars. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
I use to love watching reruns of the beach movies as a child and really sad that she also passed away the same month, but a year before my mother.

@@MrJgohde It was very sad. There is a video of how she was at the end. To be trapped in your own body must be a nightmare.

The most famous Mouse that Walt ever adopted!
Rest In Peace
Annette ❤❤❤❤
She the most beautiful woman
Didn't like the beach pictures, but loved her in the others.
I didn't realize Lori Laughton was in back to the beach.
Texas Dallas USA rewind forward of personal what?
Mickey Mouse Disney Educate who?
She seemed far from private.
Linda
Shirley Temple, Disney, decades of 2023 forward
I almost wish she would of been more out in public after she got MS as there are only so many people with disabilities out there to look up to.
Did Annette Funicello have Parkinson’s?
formidable
The beach movies were low budget and idiotic except for Annette and the bikini clad dancing girls.
