In this case it's a blessing. I saw a video of her showing her condition, she has been a working brain in a totaly useless body. She could not move any part of her body not even her mouth for eating. RIP

I had a huge crush on Annette when I was in 2nd grade and she was already a big star on the Mickey Mouse Club, even sent away to Disney Studios for her photo. She was still hot in the 1970's when she did the Skippy Peanut Butter commercials. RIP sweetie, you were the first love of millions of American lads. :engel016:

This is sad news,I grew up watching her on the Mickey Mouse Club and loved all those Beach movies she did with Frankie Avalon.....this makes me really feel my age.....

[TARPSBird]

The beach movies were corny but Annette was a very talented young lady and she and Frankie made a great couple. Always sad to lose a chunk of your childhood, whether it's a treasured possession or a person.

I had a huge crush on Annette when I was in 2nd grade...

Heck, she was in her 40s by the time I was in middle school, and even I had a crush on her! She had a timeless all-American girl-next-door appeal. RIP, Annette.

Hey All,

God does amazing things. Imagine Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passing on the same day. And today he/she (you decide) did it again. Somebody who brought such good fun into the world passing on the same day as Margret Thatcher. May both rest in peace.
