Annette Funicello was the most popular 'Mouseketeer' on 'The Mickey Mouse Club' television show, attracting fans all around the world. She developed into a stunning young woman, starring in several iconic beach movies with teen heartthrob Frankie Avalon.
Annette went public with the news that she had multiple sclerosis in 1992 at the age of 50. She had the most severe form of the disease and over the years lost her ability to walk, relying first on a cane, then on a wheelchair.
