When I was a teenager I tried so hard to fix my hair like Annette's but I never could. I idolized her then. When she became ill with MS, she was so brave and an inspiration to others in the way she handled her illness.

I grew up watching her on MMCLUB. That puts me in my early ‘70’s. “Unfortunately” I fell in love with a woman who was born about 2 months after I graduated college. But since we are older now, the difference matters not. She developed MS 13 years ago. Fortunately so many advances in Medicine over the past few years, MS is no longer a death sentence, well, we hope so anyway. Some of those advances are a direct result of Annette’s funding. We cannot thank her enough.

My favorite memory of Annette is when my mother and I met her in Joliet Illinois where she had performed with Frankie Avalon. She took the time to visit with both of us and was so very kind. She was prettier in person then she was on the screen. She autographed a record album for me which I cherish to this day. She was simply unforgettable and an American treasure

It's sad how much she suffered her last years. She was a pillar of strength. 🙏❤️🕊️

The heartbreaking tale of Annette Funicello's battle with multiple sclerosis serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life. Despite her struggles, she remained a symbol of grace and optimism, leaving behind a legacy that transcends her roles on screen.

[@eleanorsourp6311]

I loved her beach movies. She was a beautiful lady. I’m very sorry she suffered from MS and passed so young.

Several celebs at meet n greets who worked with adorable Annette simply adored her.

[@FactsVerse]

So cool!

[@ginnywalker184]

She was such a lovely lady and loved by so many. I admired her talent and beauty. I loved her movies and any role she had in any show. I loved her role in "Babes in Toyland" and it remains a favorite of mine today. It was so sad to hear of her health issues and knew she was loved by her husband and family and so many in the world. She was such a role model in how to forge ahead and do your best even when adversity strikes. She be loved and will remain in the hearts of many forever.

Sad but true! What is your favorite role of Annette?

[@ginkaas]

I had a crush on her in the 1950's . She was very beautiful and talented. I saw her in many interviews and she always seemed very nice, down to earth, and lady-like. She reminded me of England's Helen Shapiro.

my mom has MS and lupus....she is still doing great and has had it since around 1986...the problem with MS is that it attacks each person differently...some go slow (like my mom) and some (like annette) goes quick :(
