I was in love with Annette from the Mickey Mouse Club days and remember seeing every one of the Beach movies. I knew a guy who was one of the Disney "kids" on the Disney lot. He saw Annette on the lot but didn't know her. He said she was certainly very charismatic. I was saddened to find she had MS. I also know the Sherman Brothers who wrote many of Annette's hits. Two very nice gentlemen. They liked her a lot.
@alxndr01 That's so neat. :) And yes, how sad to hear she came down with MS.... my grandmother was lost to it before I was born and I hate it for taking her away from my father before I could meet her. This whole video is wonderful!
Annette looks so...different. And I don't know why. She's still just as beautiful as ever, just different. Hmmm. And I always liked Bobby Rydell. Nice song too!
This clip is a keeper. For one thing, my wife is gonna love Annette's dress. I gotta show it to her.
@ohhhwolfy I am so glad that you are enjoying the clip and thanks for letting me know. I adore Annette. She is one of America's sweethearts and always will be. So is Bobby!
Annette never looked cuter....Bobby Rydell impersonates BobbyDarin, and Annette dances with that other Bobby from the Lawrence Welk Show....Los Angeles must have been a VERY small scene in those days...
@terrryc Bobby Rydell did not have to impersonate anyone else. He was a star and very popular for himself and had several hits of his own. The Bobby that Annette was dancing with was known way before The Lawrence Welk show. He was a fellow child actor of Disney films and was in Song of the South and So Dear To My Heart. His last name was Driscoll.
Woman at 3:42 is a dead-ringer for Neve Campbell.Such a shame that Annette had contracted MS and had been confined to a wheelchair as of late, this tragedy couldn't have happened to a more beautiful,healthy and vibrant original Disney-mouseketeer.
@mistressofaminer It is a shame what has happened to one of America's true sweethearts. I am so glad that the first part of her life was so wonderful. We love you Annette and always will.
Great age to be a young adult in the early sixties, an optimistic time for the nation with JFK at the helm. Great dress Annette! True "Tomorrowland" color scheme, straight out of the Disneyland gift shop. Many italian-americans sporting their stage name in this era, including Bobby( Ridarelli) Rydell, Annette is a rare exception, proudly retaining her real surname and both 20 years old in"62. Lady takes a shot at Rydell at 2:48, using a Kodak Brownie "starmite", retailed for 10-12$.
@mistressofaminer It truly was a wonderful time. I was a young child in the early sixites and feel so lucky to have grown up in the sixties and seventies.
Ya know,,, Here's one gal who can sing better than Hayley Mills.
