Awww dang it. She was an absolute sweetheart.

Strange, just last week I was correcting someone who was mistaking her for the antithesis of Annette, Anita Bryant. That discussion went on at length as we either remembered her, or talked about the movies she was in...I think someone jumped up and started dancing. Sad to hear the news.

I admit it ! I had a crush on her during the Mickey Mouse Club Days .

RIP pretty lady !
