ANNETTE FUNICELLO Legendary Mouseketeer DEAD AT 70

That's it. I'm sad.

That definitely ends an era.

...and it's my era.
 
She's had MS for a while. Normal life expectancy for US women is 78, so she actually did pretty good with the MS only talking 8 years off her life. It does seem odd, though, to think of these people dying of old age: Annette, Frankie, and the like. MS can be pretty tough. It may have been a release for her.

Based on everything I ever read about her, and from interviews I've seen, etc., she was a very nice person.

Nice? I suppose so.

How sad. She also had a very rough time with her health for quite a few years.

:(

RIP Annette.
 
I'm going to have a hard time trying to console my husband tonight!!! He was soooo in love with her.... :) Beautiful woman....
 
Another childhood memory is gone. :(

However, I am saddened to read she was in a coma for so long and I wonder why she was kept alive when obviously her brain shut down. What a horrible way to go.
 
I think she was having MS symptoms at an early age when she was doing the beach blanket gig with Avalon
 
walt disney put a lot of pressure on her being hispanic.
I never missed the mousketeer club.

I bet Mohammed Ali is next.
