<hat (with mouse ears) over heart, head bowed<
When I was in my early teens (middle 1970s), Disney pulled the original Mickey Mouse Club out of the vault and put it back on the air -- I guess it must have been syndicated or something, I don't know. And I was at just the right age to fall for early-teen Annette like a million guys a generation earlier...
And I have to admit that I love that her last work before she fully retired was http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092608/]Back to the Beach, a very self-knowing, let's-all-have-fun-together tribute/parody/sequel to the beach movies she did in the 1960s (and in one wonderful moment, of her Skippy peanut butter commercials, too). Any film with Frankie, Annette, Gilligan, the Skipper, Peewee Herman, Johnny "I Want My Two Dollars!" Gasparini, Connie Stevens, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Fishbone, Dick Dale, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes, Tony Dow, Jerry Mathers, Barbara Billingsley, and Don Adams can't be anything but fun.
