- Annette was the very first Disney Star. Before Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Raven Symon’e, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato or Selina Gomez there was Annette Funicello. Annette Had a special relationship with Walt Disney that no other Disney Star will ever have.she was personally picked by Walt Disney himself for the 1950’s Mickey Mouse Club. She made several hit songs and Albums such as “Tall Paul” “pineapple princesses” “first name initial” and “How will I know my Love” She stared in Famous Disney Movies such as “the Shaggy Dog” “babes in toyland” and of course made all the iconic beach party movies With Frankie Avalon.
There are many wonderful talented Teen Disney’s Stars today, but there will never be another one like Annette Funicello, the True original Disney Queen. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
What a grand lady teaching the angels how to dance forever in our hearts 💕
I think her best quality was her obviously big heart. She taught kids how to be good people: loving, forgiving, kind, helpful, not boastful, shy in a pleasant way. She didn’t impose or put other people down. That was her media portrayal, but you had the feeling she was just the same off-stage. Also, she had unique, soft features. She always had something of the innocent, large-eyed child, taking in the world around her. She was a good role model for kids and grownups alike. So sorry for her suffering. If anyone did not deserve that, it was Annette Funicello.
Truly a great person.
There definitely was something special about Annette that made her stand out above all the others. What a lovely person.
Walt Disney insisted Annette be front-and-center. But maybe RUSHING TO JUDGMENT
cost Walt some other "Annette's." Namely Sharon Baird among others.
Sharon Baird interview at 1:30.
I think Annette was always exactly who she played- a genuinely sweet and kind person.
She was 1988 back to the beach before pee wees playhouse TV show on doing live concert in full house in 90s before
Even if she's generations ahead of me, i find her simply adorable and wholesome! Waching her movies 2021!
We adored Annette. We loved the Mouseketeers and their adventures but Annette was our favorite.
I'm Dennis, age 78 - i watched every episode of the Disney club shows, every thing Annette was on, sent for her autographed pictures,
( I still have them ) and I think the world ended for all the teen boy fans the day she got married. She was so special, loved by all.
what about Sharon Baird, Janet - noticed her dancing in some clips -
plus acting plus singing just very talented. A gymnast or so it seemed.
FRONT AND CENTER in every dance number (so good Sharon was/is).
I was adopted.
I didn't fit in with my adopted family, which were very kind & good to me. I just had olive skin & dark hair. They pale skin and light brown hair. But I was named after her. She made me proud of my background.
Thank you sweet Princess.
My mothers name was Annette. She was named after one of the Dionne Quintuplets, from Canada.
My mothers name was Annette. She was named after one of the Dionne Quintuplets, from Canada.
We loved Annette so much, I wanted to be like her in every way.
It's always good just to be yourself. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I was a little girl during the Mickey Mouse Club. It was such a wonderful program for children.
It was a magical time to be a child.
She truly was MAGICAL. A true gem 💎
God bless her husband for taking care of her daily, until the end. He never left her side!
Her husband , Glen Holt was her Prince charming.
Glen was an extraordinary husband! He attended tirelessly to every single need of Annettes 24/7, never leaving her side & watching over so diligently, day and night. God sent Annette her own special Angel, when he sent Glen H. into her life. What an amazing man & husband he was to Annette! A true gift to Annette in every way, with all that she would later have to go through, with her loving husband Glen, so very faithfully, by Annette’s side. Glen never left her for even a second, but tirelessly taking care of Annette through her whole sad “MS journey!!!” MS is such a horrible disease, attacking one’s body tirelessly, never stopping, never giving Annette or Glen a moments piece! My heart goes out to them “both” for the pain & misery that they “both had to endure! Annette from the MS & Glenn from watching the love of his life, slowly have her body ravaged by this insidious disease that has no cure! God Bless Annette’s soul!❤️
didn't seem fair (Annette's health issue - painful for all of us to see).
MS a terrible disease, yet she bore it with courage and dignity. An example to us of God's grace. She kept her faith and that is most precious.
I loved Annette Funicello in everything she did. She stood out with her dark hair and an innocents in her face.
She was a shy innocent girl who people were drawn too.
I so agree with you! Her inane “goodness” that was so much a part of Annette shown from her like a bright beacon. She was a true role model for all of us teenage girls, even though as a young girl, I never looked at Annette as such, until I was an adult, looking back on favorite memories from my childhood! Annette & her movies were s huge part of some of my more favorite memories! After watching her movies at 11 or 12 yrs old, I loved surfing & loved the clothes she wore. In one of her movies she wore a two piece white bathing suit that had a sort of netting at the top! Her belly button always had to be covered I had read much later, that Walt Disney mandated on his star Annette( he was fiercely protective of his young star & Hayley Mills, too( what an amazing man he was). My sweet mom ( 7 kids & my parents were divorced but my dear mom found the money somehow to get this for me💕)bought me the bathing suit ( modest & so pretty) & somehow it didn’t look “quite” the same on “my” 13 yr old body as it did on beautiful Annette’s perfect figure!🤣🤣🤣Annette was someone to look up to & admire! She was adorable but yet so very innocent Cherryll, exactly as you said. Her later yrs were so filled with pain & sadness for her but Annette’s indomitable spirit never faltered. She never complained or felt sorry for herself but kept that bright happy spirit always lit, inside of her! May God rest her soul!❤️
@@karenstrycharz1499 thank you for your reply and God bless you.
@@staceyharper7827 “MAY GOD BLESS YOU TOO,❤️STACY! Wishing you the very best & “HAPPY🎉 NEW 🎈YEAR “TO YOU 🎊TOO, MIGHT I ADD!❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
A Beauty, inside and out.
I was born in 1989. I would stay up until midnight to watch the “old” episodes of the mouseketeers. The Annette series was my favorite. I only watched the first 3 serials. Years and years later I found them all on CZcams and finally finished that series. Lol Annette was the best. She lives on through every generation ❤️
I watched the Mickey Mouse club on television from the time I can remember. I was born in 1948 and I was absolutely infatuated with Annette from the first time I saw her on television. I has the opportunity to talk to her when she and Frankie Avalon performed at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino and I was able to get my photo taken with her. I told her then she was my first love! I cherish the photo.
A shining star in her own right, who didn't realize her own worth. I was born in 1958, and even for me in my time, I was a TV fan of Annette Funicello, and the Micky Mouse club, her show, and movies. Even though for me they were reruns, they were current. Ohhh, Annette and Frankie Avalon just clicked!
Thank you Mr Walt Disney, and thank you Annette Funicello for all the great memories. 💕⭐
How can you not love her?
Annette was one of My favorites
By the time I came along (Birth year 1969) the show was in syndication but no less important to my generation. She was home made Apple Pie! Homogenized, pasteurized home maid goodness!.... Most of all what I liked about her was that she loved the role she played in American society and fully embraced it for the rest of her life. Most child stars would later speak against the shows and images they created as a kid but Annette leaned in and took the image into new decades letting people know it's okay to be wholesome, sweet and kind. That's what I'll always admire about her most. Rest well Queen Ann!
Great writing Lordcron. So true.
Annette was always my most favorite! She was so beautiful
Annette was the first girl with whom I fell in love. Although I only got to see her on the TV screen, I was certain that somehow she was my close friend. She had a warm and genuine quality that came across the airways. Every young lad in the USA fell in love with her. Honestly, she still occupies a special place in my heart. I can't quite explain it, but she just had a special quality. She was Annette, enough said!
Beautiful tribute! I never would have known some of these “Annette,” secrets!
Thank You So Much For This Beautiful And Touching Tribute to ANNETTE. I Have Tears In My Eyes While I Am Writing this. ANNETTE Will Always Have A Very Special Place In All Of Our Hearts.
Love her when I was 12 and I always loved her, she gave me so much happiness in my sad life, I would buy magazines and I would cut her picture out and paste them on my scrap book, I was so sad when I heard she was ill and then she passed on. I'll never forget Annette.
We all adored, "Annette" so much! She was a beacon of light. God knew what [He] was doing when he created her
Thank you for the upload 2021, January 5!
I always liked Annette Funicello. I like many of us who are in our mid sixties & up to our early eighties will always remember Annette Funicello. I always wanted her to be my older sister & wished that I had her as my older sister.
She persevered to the very end. RIP Annette. 😢 🙏
Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills; my two Disney crushes from the mid-Fifties through the mid-Sixties.
Annette funicello and hayley Mills were friendly rivals.
Really enjoyed this with Annette. She certainly was America’s Sweetheart.
Like all the children of my day, I had a crush on Annette, but if you look back, it was really something back then to take a darker, thick haired, Italian and put her out front with all those blonde and redhead white Anglo girls. So sad she got MS. She was a sweetheart.
If your a red head your not an Anglo, your a Celt.
And with doing that it showed that those other girls, redhead, blond, etc., could not hold a candle to Annette, not in beauty, grace, talent, or character. Annette was the complete and total package.
Yes, you are so right but the best part is that “ALL THOSE ALLEGED OTHER GIRLS”.... the blonde, red haired etc girls, absolutely adored Annette Funicello too! Now “THAT” was the very best part. There was not one jealous bone in any young girl or women’s body when it came to Annette!!! She was admired & emulated by those blonde, red haired, dark haired & everyone in between 🤣girls! She had a sweetness about her, was kind & good both inside & out. How could anyone be jealous of someone so kind, caring & loving as Annette?? Impossible!!! Us girls all wanted to be Annette Funicello & all the boys wanted to date her! I do not care who you were, how beautiful you were or what path you were on in life, Annette was a role model for us all!!!! Rest In everlasting peace dear Annette for we shall miss you forever!❤️
❤
You wrote your comment so well.
So fitting to me , the way it was back then let alone having darker skin ! I know ! I so remember !
Some times I was caught in the mix , of being mixed.
I'll never forget thows times & what's going on now brings it back.
Praying this time there will be a much better change. 🙏
what an amazing person -ive read her book -sure dont make people like annette anymore -so sad what she went through later in life
I so adorable Annette Funicello as a young girl( loved those Beach Party 🎈 movies as a eleven & twelve yr old!)! She was adorable, sweet, had an unblemished reputation with not even a whisper of any negativity! She was raised by loving parents who protected her fiercely, never took a dime of her hard earned money, as other parents of stars had done, was loved by her siblings, could sing, dance, had Shelley F. as her best friend who was popular, singing “Johnny Angel”( was her maid of honor in her wedding & she was her’s too, did sleep overs..... this girl could have been “the girl next door!” Loved her on The Mickey Mouse Club as a little girl & she was such a role model for any young girl growing up in the ‘50’s & 60’s! Loved Hayley Mills & Sandra Dee too but Annette I adored! She dated Paul Anka ( loved him too) was in movies w/ Frankie Avalon( how cute he was) and no matter what Annette touched, it was successful! She will be remembered for all her good qualities besides being an outright star! When she passed away, “a bright light” was forever dimmed in our world! May she Rest In Peace!❤️
Annette put the 'Fun' in Funicello. Rest In Peace, GORGOUS girl 🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖
She played a large role in keeping young girls pure in heart a standard for us to follow through our lives as we became adults.
RIP Annette Joanne Funicello (1942-2013)
I can remember being besotted/infatuated with Annette when we got our first T.V. back in 1962. Sounds like she was a beautiful person in real life.
A true heart! Not a phoney bone in her! Thanks for giving me part of my fav childhood memories Annette! Hope to meet you in the resurrection🙏⚘💖Book of Revelation ch. 21: verses 1, 3-5
Annete is and shall always be on my mind!
She was a such dark hair beauty with her exotic European features. Just a beautiful person inside and out!
Good night sweet princess! 😔
Amen
What beautiful words you wrote & they touched my heart! I so loved & admired Annette all my life through!❤️
I took care of her parents in a senior living you go into their room and see her pictures all over including walt Disney
❤
she was a really pretty lady rest in peace
Thank you so much to share this documentary, I've just watched "Annette". Such a joy to find these treasures of history! American TV used to produce lovely videos and great examples to follow ^_^
When i first found the "Annette" series, I could not stop watching it. I watched it off and on, all day. It was so relaxing/calming to me. I love it.

Walt and Annette would both roll in their grave if they could see what has become of the once wholesome and respectable Disney empire. I sure do miss it, and them.
Oh I agree 220%. I was thinking the exact same thing as Annette was talking about how Mr Disney had made a request of her to wear a one piece bathing suit. The innocence of our children doesn't exist today. Nor is it in the image of Disney and other children and teen shows alike. Not anymore.
(04mar2021)
I know. Nobody wants to watch their Star Wars. Star Wars used to be my religion, now I don’t want to see the Wally versions. Ugh.
Walt Disney was a decent human being whose heart was in his work. Today's Disney company is all about profit$. They shouldn't even be using his name.
She was cute when she was in that show "Annette" & grew into a pretty woman with her dark hair. R. I .P Annette. South Australia
I really miss Annette!
There was something so captivating about her. Being born in 1977, I didn’t grow up with her. I came across a YT video about her and I watched anything else I could find about her after that. What a classy, gorgeous person. ❤️
We all miss you and are so proud of you. Rest in peace
Wow only 3 comments? I grew up watching reruns of the original Mickey Mouse Club in syndication - I watched it in the 1970s. I adored Annette. :) What a lovely young lady she was.
She never had a bad thing to say about anybody.
@@staceyharper7827 And no one ever had a bad thing to say about her. I wish I could have met her in person.
@@TheJudy62 she was a sweet lovable human being. God bless Annette.
Thank you very much for making us laugh when you were a Mouseketeer or playing opposite of Frankie Avalon in those beach films.
Please Rest In Peace forever Annette Funicello.

I was born decades after she was a muskateer...but I have always been a fan. It makes no sense...I did not live in her generation. I am not into hollywood! She was an amazing actress.
Beautiful woman inside and out. Rip lovely lady 🌹
A very sweet homage to her and to her Walt. In 1960 I was 5, this was my regular fare.
She was my first crush and still holds a special place in my heart. She was a great actor, singer and most importantly, a classy woman. Thank you and R.I.P.
My first love. She was four years older than me (now 74). I am amazed seeing her now...how unglamorous she was by modern standards. A little frizzy haircut that looked like it was done with a bowl over her head. But her sweetness and her smile and the intensity of her eyes...she was to die for! A whole generation of American boys felt the same.
We were lucky to have a wonderful show, with kids we could relate to. They weren’t comics; but real kids, with exceptional talent. We all wanted to be a Mouseketeer; and how could anyone not Love Annette? I also Loved Karen Pendleton. Such a fun show, from the Brilliant Walt Disney. It was such a magical time. I wish kids today had this....they get too much reality; and it’s not entertaining.
I am remembering the memories of watching not only the Mickey Mouse Club but also every single movie that she and Frankie Avalon did together as a team.
Please think positive daily. ©®

I'll always love Annette. So sweet.
Beautiful lady young and older very humble.
I watched reruns of MICKEY MOUSE CLUB only because of Annette.
My great uncle Tom Mahoney worked with her during her Mickey Mouse years at Disney. She and him were good friends he was the choreographer of the show. He also was the hay wagon driver in her Disney show "Annette" and is seen in this video driving the hay wagon. There are photos of him and Annette in California at a ranch in a canoe together. He also worked with Annette during her first film "babes in toyland". and also after her Disney days he still worked with her during her film "bikini beach".
My middle name is Annette, thanks to my mom who loved her.
If I ever had a daughter I absolutely was going to name her Annette too( first name) & if I had a second daughter I planned on naming her Hayley ( for Hayley Mills), my second favorite actress! I had three sons 🤣so never got to use either name, unfortunately, but to this day I still love both names!!!😆I so love your middle name “HolyAL” & how cool that your mother gave you “Annette” as a middle name!!! I just love the name “ANNETTE!!!”❤️💕❤️💕❤️
@@karenstrycharz1499 Oh yes, Hayley Mills, she was as so cute & quite talented!
My middle name is a Lil outstanding Arenisha. My 1st is really outstanding Marshan lol
@@holyal89 “Wasn’t she adorable too HolyAL???” I jus loved her & read Walt Disney was so protective of his two main stars! Annette & Hayley’s parents were so protective as well( gave them credit) & wouldn’t even allow Hayley to pick up her first Oscar at the awards ( youngest star) for her parents did not want it to “go to her head) so Walt Disney sent Annette Funicello to receive her award with Shirley Temple. How exciting that had to be( look for it on UTube ( loved watches by it)! I loved watching Hayley in Pollyanna ( such a cutie)! You are right though. As a little girl, young girl & teenager I watched Sandra Dee( Gidget... I was around nine yrs old), Shirley Temple( my mom’s generators but loved her movies when I was little, Hayley Mills( Pollyanna) & Annette Funicello( Mickey Mouse Club & all the Beach Party Movies.
@@karenstrycharz1499 Absolutely! I watched most of the beach party films, but began watching more adult films with Debbie Reynolds, Audrey Hepburn & Natalie Wood (Natalie became my all time favorite actress after the 1961 movie "Splendor in the grass" & 1962 movie "Gypsy Rose Lee." She too was a child actress in 1941 movie "Miracle on 34th Street." A beautiful child who captivated the audience as did Shirley Temple. Her death, November 29,1981 off Catalina Island, shook me! I guess cuz in my Spirit, I felt she was murdered by her jealous husband Robert Wagner that dark early morning. I knew about her fear of drowning, she never would've gotten into a small dingy.
I do not know much about her , not being American. But she seemed like a nice person.
I'm 43, she was a bit before my time. But I grew up knowing who she was, from the Mickey Mouse club to movies in the 1960s, she was so sweet, so innocent, and so pretty. A wonderful American girl
What a beauty !
Happy birthday. Annette, funceilo... 79s yrs ol. 80s yrs ol.
I loved Annette and wanted to be Annette.
All of us wanted to be Annette funicello.
We all wanted to be Annette! I don't know of anyone who didn't Love her!? That's a miracle in itself! She was one of a kind and was authentic not phony until the end.
Sure miss her...quite the LADY!
lovely, just lovely
I Love Her!!! Thank you for sharing this.
It makes tears in my eyes, we even named 1 of girl after her, BUT, put Lynnette.
I HAD AN ENORMOUS CRUSH AND STILL DO AFTER 65 YEARS
First, I found that she was pretty with her orginal nose. Why she was unhappy with it is baffling. She was very attractive with the nose she was born with. But, the surgeon who did her nose was a professional and it looked very well on her.
Omg ! I never new she had her nose done !
She always was beautiful. & always made me fit in alot more when the bullying made fun of me having black hair ,& olive skin. I was adopted by the greatest family ! However I looked absolutely nothing like them ! Annette I was named after and I truly think it helped me fit in and less name calling from the bullying!!
May she rest in our lords arms always. ❤🙏
They really only thinned her nose a little bit, it wasn't a drastic change, from around 1961 onward her nose was a bit trimmed.
I read she had a deviated septum and was having some breathing issues. She had surgery and this was a result. I say she also wanted to improve it a bit while having it done.
A beautiful gal inside and out....I will see her in Heaven some day.....He who has the son (Jesus) has life)...he who has not the son...has not life (eternal life). She did love Jesus.
Yes she was a Catholic.
That explains the beautiful glow she had about her :)
what a Horrible Disease to strike such a Cute Young Lady. 25 years of sadness and declining health.
Yeah. I guess she wasn't too lucky in the end... ☹ She lived to be 70.
She went to Blessed sacrament on sunset blvd. In the year behind me, in class was Dennis a mouskateer in my class, oh yes she was the most popular in 6 th grade as she developed beyond her age, if you get my drift. Wow.
Clearly America's sweetheart in a much much sweeter and dearer and innocent time & Era❗🕊💖
Beautiful, at all ages...
Such a beauty
Oh my goodness, she was such a perfect young lady!
I was in love with Annette as a young man.. Of course I was also in love with Liz Taylor in National Velvet.. Wow, It appears I was very fickled in my youth...😀
Very great singer and very interesting too.
Anette sempre foi uma mulher linda, como a vida é estranha de nós entendermos: Ela esteve no algo do sucesso, conquistou o amor do público em geral, era uma linda menina e encantava à todos que a assistia, e infelizmente faleceu dessa forma trágica, muito triste essa doença que ela tinha. Essa esclerose múltipla é terrível, vai atrofiando gradativamente os órgãos, os membros superiores e inferiores, depois de tanta coisa que essa doença traz a pessoa fica completamente dependente de tudo. É muito triste essa forma que a nossa querida Anette Funicello faleceu. Que Deus com Sua Infinita Bondade, traga paz para o espírito dessa que nos deixou muitas saudades. FIQUE COM DEUS Anette Funicello.
it's true about annette - of course she has grown up and her adult forces are different, but that feeling I had for the young mouseketeer (the same feeling that apparently millions of other young boys had :) ) - even though it is in the past, still remains...
Walt Disney adored her
Very talented
@ 0:25 the uber-gifted Sharon Baird - the greatest (dancer etc) of
all. Walt Disney, of course, doted on Annette and justfully-so. But
this was one time when Walt was wrong. It was always about
Sharon Baird's gymnastics, skill, dancing, attitude. Sharon was
a professional dancer BEFORE being hired for the show. The
best pure dancer (male or female) on the show - and by far -
just spectacular (and in a way overlooked) talent.
Sharon INTERVIEW at about 1:30. Very revealing. "Walt
himself to an x-personal interest in Annette."
Anyone else here from the Junkyard scene from _Stand By Me?_
Love her
She had dignity, class, with no hint of sleaze, unlike--rhymes with Smiley, rhymes with Belena, rhymes with Bowen, rhymes with Smella, etc. ad nauseam.
I'm so sorry for Zanetti wonderful girl
Anette and I were supposed to marry. But, as it turned out, my parents wouldn't approve it, she was more than a year older than I. And, of course, there was that problem of us never actually meeting.
“Documentary?”... the video is only 11:27 long... This is more like a “fact video” rather than a documentary.
She died a horrible disease, but her early life was wonderful. We never know what our fate will be. We usually have, an early, middle, and retired life. With technology, they r finding out more about brain damage in neurology. Dementia, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, MS, Lewy Body Dementia, muscular dystrophy, to name a few. There will be more medication for these horrible diseases.
Really awkward that back then it was legitimate to limit the swimwear of an actress. Or that in a film she could be sung to the words 'you're just a toy'.
Well, you have to remember, in the early 60's, the bikini was still kind of risqué. For someone like Annette who portrayed childlike innocence in her films and TV shows, it would have been very shocking to her audience to have dressed in such a revealing garment. Plus, people valued their reputation back then.
