    She was a cute young girl and a beautiful lady as she aged. And such class always.

    She was my first crush too. Sooooo, hunter, her fight might be over, but ours may have just begun. Besides she was always signing to me!!!!

    Cool +1!

    Yeah, same here! Later on I watched the old re-runs and can't figure out why. When she signed on to do the "Beach Party" movies, Walt Disney advised her not to wear a Bikini, but a one piece bathing suit; otherwise she'd look cheap! I liked Walt up until that point!

    There was also this girl...she's a lot older now:

    My first crush was the lady who drove the Mr. Softee Ice Cream Truck. Annette was my second.

    But for the fact that it beats the alternative, getting old (older) really stinks.

    I remember watching Mickey Mouse club and not realizing Annette was an adult and that it the MMC was actually in color. We had a black and white 19" until the mid 70's.

    HBO set top box which was really an AB switch. Came on at 5 PM and went off at like 11 or 12. I know it was after 1975 when we got HBO though. 1977 or 1978 or something.

    I now get like 300+ TV channels and another 100 or so music channels.

    The only 3 buttons I use on my remote are the All On/Off, Volume +/-, and Channel +/-.

    That's because the Food Network is Channel 40 and Fox News is Channel 41.
