Not sure what to say?

I was always intrigued with Annette, my dad was not one for any kind of movies but when Beach Party came out in 1963 he took me to see it ! That was only the beginning of see all the movies she stared in ! I collected all her music and now have them on DVD May she rest in peace and Thank you Annette for making my teen years special !

Annette was my first childhood crush. My family would stare at me and smile everytime she was on television. I was transfixed. Well, I am noe going on 75 and still have her pictures pinned on my bulletin board at work. I also have a page on facebook titled Annette and Teen Idols, which is dedicated to her and the teen artists f the 50's and 60's. For me, Annette is a daily endeavor. Once a fan always a fan! - Ernie R. Garcia, Long Beach, Ca.

Annette may you rest in peace. You are dancing and singing with all the angels.......Such a beautiful and very talented lady!!!!!

I grew up watching the Mickey Mouse show. I loved the song and the talent the kids showed. I watched all of the beach movies Annette made, she is missed greatly. Her legacy lives on.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

It has been over eight years since my first best friend passed away. Your mom and mine thought going to dance school would draw you out from your shyness, well friend, it worked! You were sweet and wonderful as a child and continued that way your whole life. The attached photo is of us at a birthday party in North Hollywood. We love you Annette!

Such a loss, been watching lots of Disney programs with you, wish you could still be here ...your beautiful face and kind innocent being is still with us, R.I.P. dear Annette.
