In 1989 Annette was doing a nationwide concert tour with Frankie Avalon. I had the pleasure of attending one of these concerts when they came to my city. She was having trouble with MS for 2 years, but was keeping it secret from the public at the time. At one point during the concert Annette went to leave the stage. Frankie asked her "Where are you going?" She replied: "To make peanut butter sandwiches!" Frankie responded: "Make mine with linguini!" :-) God bless Annette. God bless Frankie too.

How is Annette Funicello doing these days?

@67nairb Oh I didn't know, I can't watch Dumbo, it makes me cry. I'm glad Mrs Jumbo is still alive.

@67nairb Actually Walt Disney was not an alcoholic. He was a chainsmoker but not an aloholic. However I did hear that he was a heavy drinker.

@Sheri451 Dumbo's mother was never killed. Infact she appeared with her son at the very end of the movie on a train waving good bye to the five jiving crows.

@Sheri451 Walt died in December 1966 nearly a year later.

@Sheri451 The Mouseketeers, Several of them said the "kind" Uncle Walt didn't like them. He didn't even kmow some of their names. and Darlene Gillespie was one of the first children to be chosen to be on The Mickey Mouse Club, they sais she could sing a million times better than Annette but "Uncle Walt" got rid of her. I too saw something about Walt Disney and the FBI and I think he was into the Freemasons too. Someone says this is almost like Devil Worship, they have a star that looks Satanic

@67nairb I think I saw the same thing. And In my opinion, Walt Disney hated mothers. He always killed the mothers in his animated movies, look at the movie Bambi she was shot by a hunter, and in Dumbo, his Mother defended him from a mean child and she was going to spank the little boy, they took Dumbo's Mother and caged her,the audience can't see this, but after she rocked him woth her trunk and sang Baby Mine, they took her somewhere and killed her. Plus I read a book about

[67nairb]

@Sheri451 Disney is also rumored to have been racist and above all an anti-Semite. I could be misinformed though.

[67nairb]

@Sheri451 You mentioned in your last sentence from your comment that Annette loved Walt Disney. But I read and heard that in private Walt Disney was not a very loving man, he had a terrible temper; he was alcolholic; a chainsmoker; a rabid anti-communist (there is nothing wrong with that. But Disney did secretly work with FBI in hunting down alleged communists in his animation studio and that he unfairly blacklisted a number of members of his staff).

@Sheri451 I think Annette only appeared in only one season of MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY.

@67nairb What I meant to say was Annette played a teenage Italian exchange student on the show which "was fitting" since Annette Funicello Italian-American. I forgot to the what's fitting in my comment.
