8 years ago today, Annette Funicello Passed away due to her long hard battle with MS. I wanted to upload this Biography special from a&e in her honor. No copyright infringement intended.

for those who don't know, Annette was the very first Disney Star. Before Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Raven Symon’e, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato or Selina Gomez there was Annette Funicello. Annette Had a special relationship with Walt Disney that no other Disney Star will ever have. She was personally picked by Walt Disney himself for the 1950’s Mickey Mouse Club. She made several hit songs and Albums such as “Tall Paul” “pineapple princesses” “first name initial” and “How will I know my Love” She stared in Famous Disney Movies such as “the Shaggy Dog” “babes in Toyland” and of course made all the iconic beach party movies With Frankie Avalon.
There are many wonderful talented Teen Disney’s Stars today, but there will never be another one like Annette Funicello, the True original Disney Queen.
