Annette Funicello waves a final goodbye today.
Annette Joanne Funicello
October 22, 1942 - April 8, 2013.
American actress and singer. Annette was an original "mouseketeer" part of the Mickey Mouse Club during the 1950s.
My memories are the "Beach Party" genre movies where she co-starred alongside Frankie Avalon in the 1960s.
I am sure they fueled my desire for the perfect 60s swimsuit. Never got the hair quite right. Takes such an effort and lots of hairspray!
How cute is this early 60s photo, wearing kitten heels on a scooter!
