Mickey Mouse Club legend Annette Funicello has died @ the age of 70.

She made a few Disney movies including The Misadventures of Merlin Jones & The Monkey's Uncle. But she'll always be associated with doing beach movies with Frankie Avalon. Also for being the spokesperson for Skippy peanut butter.

See you real soon in heaven, why, because we like you!

RIP Annette.

I remember seeing her on Full House once.

Man, I loved Annette. Although I wasn't around for Mickey Mouse Club's original run, they used to play reruns on the Disney Channel, and I always loved watching it. It was such a cute little show. When the new MMC came out, they did an anniversary special, and I remember some of the original Mouseketeers coming on, including Annette. It was just so cool. She'll be missed for sure. R.I.P., Annette.

I remember a really entertaining episode of Full House she and Frankie Avalon guest starred in. She will be missed indeed, though atleast she's no longer suffering.

I have some of her old 45's, especially with hits such as Tall Paul and Pineapple Express. She really looked youthful until her sad, long coma. At least she is with the Iron Lady now. At least there's still Annette Leshur (formerly Chavez) around who I grew up with more on Nickelodeon's Wild & Crazy Kids.
