A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes

My Story

De: Annette Funicello, Patricia Romanowski

Narrado por: Annette Funicello

One of the '60s most popular teen idols, Annette Funicello was more than America's favorite Mouseketeer. She knew Walt Disney, he chose her for his Mickey Mouse Club. She dated Paul Anka, Fabian, and Frankie Avalon. She made movies with such stars as Mickey Rooney and Fred MacMurray. Then she left it all behind to raise a family. In 1992, she reentered public life to share her battle with multiple sclerosis. In this touching memoir, Annette Funicello tells us that, despite it all, life is more perfect than she'd ever dreamed it might be - and once again proves to be "America's Sweetheart."©1994 Annette Funicello, All Rights Reserved, Abridgment Approved by the Author (P)16 9; 1994 Time Warner AudioBooks, A Time Warner Company, A Joint Venture of The Atlantic Group and Time Warner Trade Publishing

What a joy!

Listening to Annette Funicello talk about the Mickey Mouse Club and Walt Disney was delightful and touching. Wonderful!

Deep Down & Inside

it was better than reading a book. Got it read done in no time. I will surely do it again.

Enlightening and enjoyable!

A very sweet, poignant autobiography, told by Annette herself. My only wish, is that she could have talked more about her life with multiple sclerosis and more of the symptoms that she experienced.

everything I'd hoped for

I loved this book as much as I'd always loved Annette. Her life is a shining example of how love, family and faith can make life wonderful, if not perfect. People always told me I reminded them of her.; what a compliment! As I enter the culmination of my life, I hope I can be half as loved and respected as she was. Brava, sweet lady, I hope to meet you some day.

A beautiful story told by she who lived it

This autobiography of the late Annette Funicello is well written. Nobody is more qualified as the narrator than Annette herself. Her story is not just about her. it's a glimpse into an innocent past that we will likely never see again.

Annette

Hearing Annette's own voice sharing her success and struggles. She loved Walt and respected him to the end.

Annette phone a cello’s life an inspiration!

I loved learning about the early days of the MMC and times with Walt Disney. Her chilhood was fascinating! She was remarkable lady who made a wonderful transition from Child star to teenage star and not many people can do that so flawlessly.

interesting

it was ok. I didn't finish it, I found it a bit boring. but I did enjoy learning about the Mikey mouse club house

Inspiring

This was truly enjoyable book you don’t have to know who she was to read this book is like a fairytale although it does Natalie have a happy ending it has a very uplifting and positive energy at the end she’s definitely a very inspiring person a person can show people in the matter whatever’s the best for you there’s always a positive outlook

Interesting and uplifting

This was a fun, relaxing read. She spoke slowly (probably due to her MS), so i increased the speed and it was perfect!
