Annette. Boy oh boy was I in love with her in 1955. I was 8, she was 9. It wasn't till the next season that I realized how totally I was NOT the only one.
Sweet lady. God bless her, she had a rough time.

This is truly sad. In our family, our little girls know Annette from Pee Wee Herman's Christmas special, with Frankie Avalon. I had a crush on her from re-runs of the Mickey Mouse Club. God bless her.

So I was mistaken all these years. She was actually 12 in 1955. Whatever. She was a darling little girl, and a nice lady. The MS was a horrendous thing, but she bore it bravely.

Having grown up north of Utica, NY, Annette was very much a local celebrity. What a wonderful lady.

Paolo Soleri, really much more New Age than Golden Age,but an amazing character nonetheless. I've had a couple of friends who have spent time at Arcosanti, his amazing city of the future in the Arizona desert.

Missed hearing him the day he retired. Sad he is once again gone.

I had no idea that Allan was the ex-husband of famed photographer Diane Arbus...didn't even occur to me during the long run of M*A*S*H. What a great career he had. R.I.P. Sidney! ≈ http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/04/23/mash-allan-arbus-dead-at-95/
