THE REVISION INCLUDES ONE OF THE TALLEST STORIES I HAVE EVER HEARD.
Every teenage boy in the 1950's had just one favorite Mouseketeer---Annette Funicello. She was an 11 before the 10 scale had been invented!
Her dark skin, and hair and her prematurely developed figure, kept us boys watching the lame skits and dance routines. A series called Spin and Marty was OK. But it was Annette we adored.
She would later star with teenage girl heartthrob, Frankie Avalon, in a blue million Beach Blanket romances.
Her health was poor for most of her life because she had MS.
Interestingly, she was the last Mouseketeer hired by Disney, but she quickly became the star of the Mickey Mouse Club.

ADDED: Over 20 years ago I preached one Sunday in a very small OK church. A man there asked me to take him to the Unemployment office the next day. From the time he got in my car until he got out he told what sounded like one unbelievable story after another.
The biggest was he had once been the body guard for Annette when lived in Hollywood!
