Annette Funicello, who won America's heart as a 12-year-old in Mickey Mouse ears, captivated adolescent baby boomers in slightly spicy beach movies and later championed people with multiple sclerosis, a disease she had for more than 25 years, died on Monday in Bakersfield, Calif. She was 70.

I didn't realize she and I were so close in age, months!
She made the show come to life.
The whole world watched her boobies grow from nuttin to....... I digress.

Yep, a classic beauty. I used to watch reruns of the Mickey Mouse club just to see her.
