JoJo_TheDogFacedBoy
Actress. Born October 22, 1942, in Utica, New York. Funicello and her family moved to Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley when she was four years old. Best known for her role in the Mickey Mouse Club and in teenage beach movies of the early 1960s.
Walt Disney saw Funicello dancing the lead in Swan Lake at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank, California, and invited her to audition for his new children's show, The Mickey Mouse Club (1955). Funicello got her start on the program at age thirteen, soon becoming the most popular "Mouseketeer" on the show.
In 1992, Funicello announced that she had been battling multiple sclerosis, a degenerative neurological disease, since 1987. To assist in fundraising to fight neurological disorders, she founded The Annette Funicello Teddy Bear Company, which markets a line of collectible bears, and developed her own perfume line, Cello, by Annette. A portion of the proceeds from these products goes to The Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases.
Funicello was married to Jack Gilardi from 1965 until their divorce in 1981. The couple had three children. She married current husband, Glen Holt, in 1986.
