Disney Legend Annette Funicello – America’s Sweetheart
In 1957, I was ten years old, stamps were $.03 each and “The Mickey Mouse Show” was at its zenith, entertaining millions each weekday afternoon, broadcasting in black & white. I had a huge crush on Annette Funicello, as did every boy in the country, I’m sure. My good friend Arnold Haskell and I shared the cost of one stamp and mailed two letters of admiration to The Walt Disney Studios, att: Annette. Many weeks passed before I finally received a post card from the studio, thanking me for my patronage. I was heartbroken that it had not been a personal note from her.
Over the years, I was lucky enough to photograph her on several occasions and even shared that story with her. The following photo was made in 1992, when Annette launched her own line of teddy bears at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom Park. It is a day I will never forget and I thought some might enjoy seeing a historical photo of an amazing Disney Legend who also happens to be America’s Sweetheart.
