There is no way I was the only preteen girl who crossed her fingers in hopes that one day she, too, would have wonderfully perky Annette Funicello boobs.

This week penned a very sad chapter in the book of awesome women who made their marks.

In December 1959, Funicello attempted to have her contract with Disney set aside, claiming that it was unequitable and that she was without an agent or legal counsel when she signed it.

For Zorro she played Anita Cabrillo in a three-episode storyline about a teen-aged girl arriving in Los Angeles to visit a father who does not seem to exist.
