There is a front-page obituary for Annette Funicello in the LA Times this morning. The former Mouseketeer died yesterday at the age of 70 from complications of multiple sclerosis. As the Times puts it: “If you were a girl in the 1950s, Annette Funicello was the ideal of feminine goodness, your fantasy best friend forever. If you were a boy, she was your dream date, demure, doe-eyed and just different enough to set hearts pounding.”
