I saw the article today, she was a sweaty. I remember watching the popular beach party reruns in the 70's.

People dying, what a surprising change from the norm.

She was fun to watch.

I probably saw every beach party movie she made, more than once. Was sad to hear about passing on.

The Mickey Mouse Alma Mater is ALWAYS the last song that I play as I finish any event that I DJ as I am packing up for the evening.

RIP Annette  :cry

She was a sweetie. I was sweaty watching her in a bikini.

Oh, and I only choose Jif.

I just caught up with an episode of ET where they spent 2 segments featuring her this week.  She had a great attitude in spite of her health.  Very sad for me to watch as someone close to me has MS though.
