I know sharon went on to be alot of the creatures in shows like HR Pufinstuff, Lidsville, and the Bugaloos.

Every one of the female Mouseketeers got a chance to deliver one of these "Beauty Is" songs; this was Doreen's moment in the spotlight, during the 1957-'58 season (those sung that season didn't have time for a second "sing-along chorus", as in the previous season, as the "MICKEY MOUSE CLUB" had been paired down from 60 to 30 minutes in the fall of '57).

Boy did Jimmy Dodd look young for his age. A great musician as well.

Awesome post!!!!! I have never seen this but this song was on a record album that we owned. I haven't heard it in 40 years and still know each note! Thanks!

No. In 1976 she did a nude pictorial for Gallery magazine, but she never made any blue movies. Unfortunately, when you type her name into a Google image search without the smut filter on these days, it's the first thing that pops up.

It's too bad she didn't go on to have a post-mouseketeer recording career like Annette. I think she had a better voice.

Didn't she grow up to be a porn star?

Ahh, "Words to Grow By," I was there when this was airing and they are the true basis of my personal philosophy and path though life.

I wonder if it's too late to sue?

So this is where Forrest Gump got that similar motto from.
