Careeredit

The Mickey Mouse Clubedit

Funicello as a Mouseketeer on The Mickey Mouse Club (1956) Funicello took dancing and music lessons when she was a child in order to overcome her shyness. In 1955, the 12-year-old was discovered by Walt Disney when she performed as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake at a dance recital at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank, California. Disney cast her as one of the original Mouseketeers. She was the last to be selected, and one of the few cast members to be personally selected by Walt Disney himself. In 1955, she signed a seven-year contract with Disney at $160 a week that would rise to $500 a week if all options were exercised.56 Funicello proved to be very popular and by the end of the first season of The Mickey Mouse Club, she was receiving 6,000 letters a month, more than any other Mouseketeer.7 She dated fellow Mouseketeer Lonnie Burr.89 Saying goodbye to cast members in the 1958 show finale, Funicello said “I never cried so hard in my life”.10 In addition to appearing in many Mouseketeer sketches and dance routines, Funicello starred in several serials on The Mickey Mouse Club. These included Adventure in Dairyland, the second and third Spin and Marty serials – The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty (1956) and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty (1957) – and Walt Disney Presents: Annette (1958) (which co-starred Richard Deacon).citation needed

Singing careeredit

In several scenes in the Annette serial, she performed the song that launched her singing career. The studio received so much mail about “How Will I Know My Love” (lyrics by Tom Adair, music by Frances Jeffords and William Walsh),11 that Walt Disney issued it as a single, and gave Funicello (somewhat unwillingly) a recording contract.12 A proposed live-action feature, The Rainbow Road to Oz, was to have starred some of the Mouseketeers, including Darlene Gillespie as Dorothy and Funicello as Ozma. Preview segments from the film aired on September 11, 1957, on Disneyland’s fourth anniversary show.13 By then, MGM’s The Wizard of Oz had been shown on CBS Television for the first time. Theories on why the film was abandoned include Disney’s failure to develop a satisfactory script, and the positive reception of the MGM film’s television screening. Disney ultimately replaced this film project with a new adaptation of Babes in Toyland (1961), which starred Funicello as Mary Contrary.citation needed

Post-Mickey Mouse Clubedit

Funicello and Richard Tyler on The Danny Thomas Show (1959) After the Mickey Mouse Club, Funicello remained under contract with Disney for a time. She had a role on the Disney television series Zorro, playing Anita Cabrillo in a three-episode storyline about a teen-aged girl arriving in Los Angeles to visit a father who does not seem to exist. This role was reportedly a 16th birthday present from Walt Disney, and it was the first of two different characters she played opposite Guy Williams as Zorro.1410 She had a multiple-episode guest arc on Make Room for Daddy as an Italian exchange student.15 Funicello made her feature film debut in the Disney-produced comedy The Shaggy Dog (1959) with Fred MacMurray and Tommy Kirk. The film was a success at the box-office.16 Although uncomfortable being thought of as a singer, Funicello had a number of pop record hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly written by the Sherman Brothers and including: “Tall Paul”, “First Name Initial”, “O Dio Mio”, “Train of Love” (written by Paul Anka) and “Pineapple Princess”. They were released by Disney’s Buena Vista label. She also recorded “It’s Really Love” in 1959, a reworking of an earlier Paul Anka song called “Toot Sweet” (which was later reworked again into Johnny’s Theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson).citation needed In an episode of the Disney anthology television series titled “Disneyland After Dark”, Funicello can be seen singing live at Disneyland. Walt Disney was reportedly a fan of 1950s pop star Teresa Brewer and tried to pattern Funicello’s singing on the same style. However, Funicello credits “the Annette sound” to her record producer, Tutti Camarata, who worked for Disney in that era. Camarata had her double-track her vocals, matching her first track as closely as possible on the second recording to achieve a fuller sound than her voice would otherwise produce.citation needed Early in her career, she appeared on the NBC interview program Here’s Hollywood.12 In December 1959, Funicello attempted to have her contract with Disney set aside, claiming that it was unequitable and that she was without an agent or legal counsel when she signed it. She was receiving $325 a week (About $3,000 in 2020 dollars). The court refused.17

Return to Disneyedit

In 1961, Funicello returned to Zorro playing a different role. She starred in a big budget musical for Disney, Babes in Toyland (1961), alongside Tommy Sands and Kirk.18 She also appeared in two television movies filmed in Europe for Disney alongside Kirk, both of which were released theatrically in some markets: The Horsemasters (1961), shot in England, and Escapade in Florence (1962), filmed in Italy.19 It has been pointed out that although Disney had Funicello under contract a long time “he never seemed to have much faith in her abilities to carry a film (she usually supported the boy).“20

Beach party seriesedit

Funicello and Frankie Avalon at the height of the Beach Party era Funicello moved on from Disney to become a “teen idol”, starring in a series of “Beach Party” movies with Frankie Avalon for American International Pictures. These started with Beach Party (1963) when Funicello was 21 years old. The movie was so successful American International Pictures signed Funicello to a seven-year contract and starred her in a series of beach party movies.21 Funicello guest-starred on episodes of Wagon Train, Burke’s Law and The Greatest Show on Earth, then starred in another two-part Disney telemovie with Kirk, The Misadventures of Merlin Jones (1964). This was released to cinemas in the US and became a surprise box office hit. Also popular were the follow ups to Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party (1964) and Bikini Beach (1964). Billboard advertisement for Annette’s Beach Party, July 20, 1963 When she was cast in her first beach movie, Walt Disney requested that she wear only modest bathing suits and keep her navel covered. However, she wore a pink two-piece in Beach Party, a white two-piece fishnet suit in the second film (Muscle Beach Party) and a blue and white bikini in the third (Bikini Beach). All three swimsuits bared her navel, particularly in Bikini Beach, where it is visible extensively during close up shots in a sequence early in the film when she meets Frankie Avalon’s “Potato Bug” character outside his tent.22 Funicello made Pajama Party (1964) for AIP with Kirk, not Avalon, though it was an unofficial Beach Party movie and Avalon made a cameo. Avalon was back as Funicello’s co-star in Beach Blanket Bingo (1965), then she and Kirk did a sequel to Merlin Jones, The Monkey’s Uncle (1965). The Monkey’s Uncle featured Annette singing with The Beach Boys and was another huge hit.23 Funicello made a cameo in two AIP comedies starring Avalon, Ski Party (1965) and Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965), then she did How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965) with Dwayne Hickman. Box office receipts for the series were in decline, and neither Avalon nor Funicello appeared in the final installment, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966).

Stock-car racing filmsedit

AIP tried a new formula with stock car racing films, starting with Fireball 500 (1966) which starred Funicello, Avalon and Fabian Forte. The movie was popular enough for them to try another stock car movie, Thunder Alley (1967) with Funicello and Fabian. It would be her last lead in a feature film for two decades. Funicello guest starred on Hondo and had a short role in Head (1968), opposite The Monkees.

1970s and 1980sedit

During the 1970s, Funicello focused on raising her family. However she still occasionally acted, making guest appearances on shows like Love, American Style, Easy Does It… Starring Frankie Avalon, Fantasy Island and The Love Boat. In 1979, Funicello began starring in a series of television commercials for Skippy peanut butter.24 Her role as spokesperson for the brand forced Funicello to turn down a role in Grease 2.25 In November 1985, she starred in the 16th episode of the Disney Channel documentary series Disney Family Album in an episode about her career.10 She starred in a TV movie for Disney, Lots of Luck (1985), and was reunited with Avalon in Back to the Beach (1987). The two also performed together live.26

Later careeredit

Funicello’s autobiography, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: My Story, was dictated to Patricia Romanowski and published in 1994. The title was taken from a song from the Disney movie Cinderella. A television film based on the book, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: The Annette Funicello Story, appeared in 1995. In the final scene, the actress portraying Funicello (Eva LaRue), using a wheelchair, turns away from the camera and when turning back, Funicello herself appears to deliver a message to a group of children. During this period, Funicello produced a line of teddy bears for the Annette Funicello Collectible Bear Company.3 The last collection in the series was made in 2004. She also had her own fragrance called “Cello, by Annette”.citation needed “Now that I’ve gone public with my illness, they can’t do enough,” she said in 1994. “They even send me home remedies to try. Everyone says, ‘God bless you and I’m praying for you.’” 7 Funicello made her final public appearance on September 13, 1998 at California’s Multiple Sclerosis Society with Frankie Avalon.27

Personal lifeedit

Funicello and Frankie Avalon reunited for the television special Good Ol’ Days, 1977 Funicello’s best friend was actress and singer Shelley Fabares, whom she had met in a catechism class when they were teens. Fabares was a bridesmaid at Funicello’s first wedding. Funicello was also very close to fellow Mouseketeers Lonnie Burr (her first boyfriend), Sharon Baird, Doreen Tracey, Cheryl Holdridge, Disney co-star Tommy Kirk and beach-movie co-star Frankie Avalon. She dated Canadian singer/songwriter Paul Anka and he wrote his hit song “Puppy Love” about her.28

Marriages and childrenedit

Funicello was married to Jack L. Gilardi (1930–2019) from 1965 until 1981. They had three children: Gina Portman (born 1965), Jack Jr. (born 1970) and Jason (born 1974). In 1986, she married California harness racing horse breeder/trainer Glen D. Holt (1930–2018).329 The couple was frequently seen attending harness horse races at the Los Alamitos Race Course and Fairplex in Pomona in the 1980s and 1990s. In March 2011, Funicello’s longtime Encino, California, home caught fire. She suffered smoke inhalation, but was otherwise unharmed.30 After the fire, Funicello and Holt lived in a modest ranch that they had purchased decades earlier, located just south of Shafter, California (north of Bakersfield), where she lived her remaining years.31

Illness and deathedit

In early 1987, at around 45 years old, Funicello reunited with Frankie Avalon for a series of promotional concerts to promote their film Back to the Beach. She began to experience dizziness, headaches, and balance issues and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For the next five years, she hid her condition from her family and friends until 1992 when she finally publicly disclosed her diagnosis32 to combat rumors that her impaired ability to walk was the result of alcoholism. In 1993, she opened the Annette Funicello Fund for Neurological Disorders at the California Community Foundation.33 The Canadian program W5 profiled Funicello in 2012 after 15 years out of the public eye, revealing that her disease had severely damaged her nervous system. She had lost the ability to walk in 2004, had lost the ability to speak half a decade later in 2009 and required a feeding tube, needing round-the-clock care in order to survive. Funicello’s close friend Shelley Fabares also appeared in the profile piece.3435 On April 8, 2013, Funicello died at age 70 at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, California, from complications attributed to multiple sclerosis. Her family and Fabares were with her when she died.36 A private funeral was held at the Cherished Memories Memorial Chapel in Bakersfield.37 Commenting on her death, Walt Disney Company chairman and CEO Bob Iger said: Annette was and always will be a cherished member of the Disney family, synonymous with the word Mouseketeer, and a true Disney Legend. She will forever hold a place in our hearts as one of Walt Disney’s brightest stars, delighting an entire generation of baby boomers with her jubilant personality and endless talent. Annette was well known for being as beautiful inside as she was on the outside, and she faced her physical challenges with dignity, bravery and grace. All of us at Disney join with family, friends and fans around the world in celebrating her extraordinary life.38

Legacyedit

The power pop band Redd Kross’s 1980 song “Annette’s Got The Hits” was inspired by Funicello.39 In 1992, Funicello was inducted as a Disney Legend.40 She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for motion pictures on September 14, 1993; it is located at 6834 Hollywood Blvd. In 1995, she appeared on a Disney TV documentary commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Mickey Mouse Club. In the Disney Village shopping and dining area of Disneyland Paris, a 1950s themed restaurant called Annette’s Diner is named after her.
