Native Americans, indeed!

@jondoe8889 I know, it is not politically correct at all by today's standards. I hope I do not offend by showing clip. I love Annette. It was a different time.

[jondoe8889]

@LoreneFaith Oh, not at all! It was a different era. Silly more than offensive. We look back on those times with great fondness, ignoring what it was really like. We remember the parts we liked.

Thank you for posting this. I'd never seen it before, tho I was of her era. YT helps us remember!

(my comment was about how they never seem to have native americans fill the roles. Once you notice that, it's kinda funny! (unless...)

[LoreneFaith]

@jondoe8889 It was a different time. It is strange to look back and see Whites acting as Indians or Whites in black face pretending to be Black. I am very glad that has changed. I agree, despite the injustices of the past, these shows in their innocence are very entertaining. Thank you for your comment.

Beauty, talent, grace and true spirit are ageless. God bless HER!

[LoreneFaith]

@damienrecords Amen! One of America's sweethearts. We love you Annette!!!

I'm sure Native Americans found it moronic.  But in the early sixties, political correctness pretty much didn't exist, especially the way America's youth was crazy for Cowboys & Indians. This was family entertainment at its finest in 1960.

@LoreneFaith Actually, she will be 69 this coming October.

@4MaryAnna I agree. It saddens me a great deal to think of her in these final days. I did not mean to imply anything less. I am sure her days are filled with things I can't begin to imagine. I have a very basic understanding of the disease. Clearly I have no understanding of MS as Annette does. She is entitled to her final days as she wishes. I know, she knows there are still thousands, if not millions of fans that are concerned, and wish her well. Her beauty, talent, and charm are eternal.

@GonzoGuyy Yes,I agree with you,and like the old saying goes: We're all moving towards dying from the moment we're born. I also believe that there's something better awaiting Annette,but still it saddens me to hear about her poor health with many of her days in pain.I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wished she could have had less suffering in her life.I guess I'm just the kind of person who naturally wishes the best for others.

@4MaryAnna 68...and let's be honest, don't we all lose the battle? None of us stays in this world. it's my personal belief that there is something truly wonderful awaiting Annette on the other side. I have never heard or read that she said an unkind word against anyone. Ever.

her beauty, talent, and charm are eternal.
