RIP: Annette and Margaret
Annette Funicello, beloved Disney star of the fifties and sixties, died on April 8 from complications stemming from multiple sclerosis. She was 70. I remember her because I was one of those who developed a crush on her as a child watching the Mickey Mouse Club, one which lasted right up to about the time of the beach movies. Another part of my childhood gone. Sigh.
In other news, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died at the age of 87. I don't care.
