ejp626 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ebert, Margaret Thatcher, now Annette -- discuss. Ebert was a different week, but two big deaths in the same day always squeezes one out. If I am not mistaken, Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died the same day and MJ got all the headlines. I suspect it will be the same today with Thatcher dominating (naturally ).

Tim McG Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Sorry to see her go. I knew she was battling MS, but wasn't aware it had gotten to a point where it could take her life. My Father-in-Law died a couple years ago for the same reasons. BTW, she apparently was living only 75 miles away from where I live. Rest in Peace, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The worst part being that for some reason I thought she had already passed. Terrible. She was a beautiful and talented lady. Rest in peace, my dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I got for Christmas a DVD box set of all of the Frankie and Annette movies. I'm glad that she got to know, in a very small way, that she still had a fan!

Stereojack Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Every boy of my generation came of age watching Annette on the Mickey Mouse Club, and we all had a crush. About a half hour ago I clicked on a news item on Comcast's home page (where I get my e-mail) concerning Annette's death. It brought me to a clip from Fox News, on which the reporter, while showing a series of clips covering her career, identified her beach movies co-star as "Frankie Valli". A-a-a-a-rgh!
