Annette had great parents. A great upbringing. Her mother WAS gorgeous!

[@jszoradi8650]

Have you noticed Annette's daughter- Gina looks exactly like her grandmother? Proof that looks can skip a generation! 😊👍

[@conniecharley7086]

Her makeup is always perfect everything was looking perfect about her she always knew the right way to tell it.

[@annieh2900]

I love you and miss you Annette ❤

[@LillyU333]

I think she looked similar to Mickey/Minnie Mouse,: vivid eyes, wide smile, dark hair, happy friendly look. And I mean no offense here. I am sure she wouldn´t be offended by this either. She deserves all the respect in the world as an artist and as a human being. Very beautiful woman inside and out. True inspiration to all of us.

[@jusssayin480]

I'd be offended.

[@mickymartin4008]

I think Annette looks like her Dad more than her mom; however, Annette is gorgeous. She is so perfectly perfect. 😍⚘

[@228vik]

Because you had a kind face and mannerism IMO

[@YoursHonestly]

Such a kind, warm and humble person she seems

[@susanford2388]

She grew up to be quite stunning, so polite, so graceful. A beautiful woman.

[@michaelehuston2154]

I enjoyed watching the interview with Annette and family.

[@dianemoose9982]

You were so soft spoken and beautiful !

[@maddyhayes617]

Wonderful interview.

Some people have star quality such as Raquel Welch, Elvis, Charlton Heston, James Dean etc.. It is an uncommon blend of looks and personality. At every stage of life Annette had a beauty and charm that put her above all the others and, even at the top, she is incomparable such as Chopin or Connie Francis. Had she not been a dancer with all that development and conditioning she would not have reached the level of beauty and charisma that she did. Growing up in a loving, stable family with moma cooking healthy meals was also indispensable.

[@Mitzi73]

As someone who just discovered Annette, I think people gravitated to her, as Walt Disney did, because her purity shone through; add to that her beauty and her talent. She had the IT factor very much like Whitney Houston. All the stars lines up for them. Her daughter and her mother look like mother & daughter instead of Annette and her daughter.

[@USCG.Brennan]

Because we loved you....that's why!! ;-)

[@angelsarereal6003]

She's 38 years old in this video. Still pretty, cute Annette!

[@sophialorencoffee9055]

Her mom's face was flawless...she wasn't lying!

[@gerardmazzarese9363]

I was in puppy love with Annette at 6 years old at the sight of her beautiful smile in one of the beach movies.i

[@GeneRogers-di6cl]

I was in love with Annette during the 50s from the beginning ❤

[@SpeegBJ]

Dark brown eyes create what's called 'ocular fascination' which means you can't not look at those eyes. And when your smile is as wide as how wide your eyes are set apart, other words, the same distance apart, your eyes and your smile, width wise........you're a winner.

[@ferneoneil506]

She had MS and I can relate to that because I have it as well I just hope they find a cure soon sometime

[@SteelTreeGone]

She was very lucky she was pretty shy, so everyone made her special

[@patrinacopeland265]

It was more than luck. It was her destiny!

[@DJRailProductions101]

Would love to see this whole video

[@ediekoller1144]

Annette had younger brothers\....Joey and Michael!

[@michaelodonnell9756]

One of them was her agent at one point. Don't know which one though.

[@staceyharper7827]

[@enricosanchez894]

Her madre look like ol lady on 1980s Cool Whip commercials.

[@sinnerpeace]

Annette say she had brothers????

[@RhiannaBarr]

Two little brothers, Michael and Joseph JR

Why did she have to get that horrible disease?

[@jennifermiller9130]

I know. It makes me so sad that she did.

[@judywhiting4684]

Gerald...CHARLTON HESTON???....LOL

[@darleneferree3887]

Annette's daughter was not as pretty as she was-in fact, I don't know who she looks like.

[@NYToots]

I think she resembles her grandmother.

[@annieh2900]

Gina is as beautiful inside and out,,just like her mom,,and she does resemble her grandparents,both grandma and grandpa,,,the youngest boy looks alot like Annette..the middle boy looks like his dad and grandparents,,,that's my opinion

[@judithryle2113]

I wonder if they were good to her in her bad health years

[@patrinacopeland265]

Judith, stop wondering. If you look at the documentaries, and interviews, and just in talking to people who truly knew them, they were all as loving and kind, and respectful as always. Great upbringing from Great Parents, Grandparents, and extended Family will do that for you. More people should try it these days!!!!!

"Mr. Disney was very wise to never let any mothers on set," 🤢 Boy was she wrong about that.
