Annette Funicello measurements, bio, height, weight, shoe and bra size

Annette Funicello, then 13 years old, was spotted to be a child by Walt Disney in an amateur production of Swan Lake performed in Fullerton California. In spite of the opposition from her Mickey Mouse Club co-stars, Funicello joined the cast late in the series's debut season and was not needed to be auditioned for. Disney's intuitions were right Funicello became the most sought-after Mickey Mouse Club performer. The story she wrote for her own show Adventures in Dairyland also featured her. Then it became clear that Funicello needed to make records in order to exploit her talent as a teenager singer, and even though Annette did not seem to be very happy with her ability to sing, Disney engaged established arranger Tutti Camerata to guide her career as an recording artist. Funicello was comfortable recordings, and was delighted to work with Camerata. He was one of the few that were arranging at 40 who understood the fundamentals of rock's early days. Her albums slowly improved beginning with the third one, Annette Sings Anka, probably the first LP to consider the music of a rock musician as repertoire. Funicello was the main character in Beach Party, one of the five beach party movies that were immensely successful. Most often, the film starred Frankie Avalon, these films were produced by AIP however the scripts for each film have been personally approved and read by Walt Disney to maintain Annette's clean appearance. Funicello's films helped break many other musicians. Stevie Wonder starred in Muscle Beach Party.
