She was sick for quite a while. One of the few people in hollywood who remained clean

The girl a lot of us wanted to look like...back in the late 50's and 60's. RIP Annette.

It was sad to see video of her in the last stages, which they showed on our local evening news yesterday........back in the 1980's she could still walk, with the help of a cane, but with an awkward gait.......however, the end stage showed her, as she said, "trapped in her body".......which is the scariest part. We have one quadrant in our town here with three cases of MS all "right around the corner" from each other, ....two females and one male. I've read that it is more prevalent in northern climates.......but I believe Annette's family moved to California when she was a young age. It almost looked like she had Parkinsons.

May she rest in peace.

That was our generation.........
