Talk:Annette Funicello

message: Not sure I got the formatting right on the rating box, but here goes.  The biography section seems fairly short but reasonable, the credits listed are a bit sketchy, and there's no real discussion of the subject's impact on the culture.  Surely one of the most famous of the "Disney Legends" should have plenty of material to be discussed and cited. Karen | Talk | contribs 00:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Photo 

message: A quick search fails to turn up and substantiation for the claim that Neil Sedaka's song "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" had any connection to Annette, who would have been 19 years old that year.  I see that there's a stub for the song that makes the same claim.  Given her age, the claim seems unlikely enough that it really should either have a citation or be removed. Thanks! --Karen | Talk | contribs 06:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't trace if this is a spelling error or a little used statement.  If it is a statement it should have references to explain it.

message: There is nothing in the article about Annette Funicello's recent (2012-10-06) appearance on the Canadian public affairs programme W5 (it was billed as a worldwide exclusive). It was her first appearance on television in years. She can no longer walk or speak, and her husband Glen Holt is still hoping for something that might improve her condition, having already tried just about everything.

message: Someone needs to comb the Peanuts comic-strip archives for this one.  I remember seeing one of those characters (Linus?) saying "Annette Funicello has grown up!".
Just after I wrote the above, I located this on the Los Angeles Times website in the obituary (refers to Annette Funicello's 1st wedding, in 1965):
"On the morning of the wedding, Charles Schulz's 'Peanuts" cartoon strip marked the occasion by showing Snoopy howling, 'I can't stand it! This is terrible! How depressing ... ANNETTE FUNICELLO HAS GROWN UP!'"
I won't take it on myself to incorporate this into this Wikipedia article, but whoever does so needs to credit it appropriately.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 19:06, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peanuts reference? 

message: Perhaps now is inappropriate, but in a year or so someone should add that she was a spokesperson for the Florida citrus growers (orange growers) as an adult and that also I believe she made several controversial comments about gays (sorry my memory fails me for the specifics).  She was quite religious (according to media accounts) and intolerant.  Since this did make the papers at the time 80's ?  90's ?  it should be included here.  It was at the time, part of a national debate. (Think it was gays, not 100% sure-- some social issue, anyway)173.189.72.98 (talk) 03:22, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes it was Anita Bryant and it was the 1970s.  I realize this is a talk page, but if this post is going to remain here indefinitely, we need to be explicitly clear that this was NOT Annette Funicello. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 16:04, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

text: Indeed it is inappropriate to make such absurd claims about something you remember and understand so poorly. And if it had been true, any time would have been appropriate to add it. -- 70.109.46.5 (talk) 05:50, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: I was reading this article through, and nowhere does it mention how BIG a phenomenon she was.

There were paper dolls of her, you could buy novels and comics and books and colouring books.  I thought the paper doll pics were pretty cool, because she was marketed with Snow White, Cinderella and Alice!  It was like she was a Disney character her self, Disney royalty.  She was a real Disney icon, almost as much as the classic Disney characters. :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.234.68.109 (talk) 09:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
