Thread Name: Obit: Annette Funicello (1942-2013)
Subject: RE: Obit: Annette Funicello (1942-2013)
Spaw mentioned Annette's autobiography, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes. It was made into a TV movie. Eva LaRue played Annette as a teenager. Annette herself appeared in the film. She was reclining on a couch and spoke softly, slurring slightly and hesitant due to MS, and told children about parts of her life. From the time I heard of her diagnosis, I thought of her whenever I heard anything about MS and wondered how she was.
