</p><p>In 1992, Funicello announced that she had been diagnosed with <a href="Multiple_sclerosis" title="Multiple sclerosis">multiple sclerosis</a>. She died of complications from the disease on April 8, 2013.

<p>Funicello took dancing and music lessons when she was a child in order to overcome her shyness. In 1955, the 12-year-old was discovered by <a href="Walt_Disney" title="Walt Disney">Walt Disney</a> when she performed as the Swan Queen in <i><a href="Swan_Lake" title="Swan Lake">Swan Lake</a></i> at a dance recital at the <a href="Starlight_Bowl_(Burbank%2C_California)" title="Starlight Bowl (Burbank, California)">Starlight Bowl</a> in <a href="Burbank%2C_California" title="Burbank, California">Burbank, California</a>. Disney cast her as one of the original Mouseketeers. She was the last to be selected, and one of the few cast members to be personally selected by Walt Disney himself.
</p><p>In 1955, she signed a seven-year contract with Disney at $160 a week that would rise to $500 a week if all options were exercised.<sup id="cite_ref-contract_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-contract-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Funicello proved to be very popular and by the end of the first season of <i>The Mickey Mouse Club</i>, she was receiving 6,000 letters a month, more than any other Mouseketeer.<sup id="cite_ref-letter_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-letter-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> She dated fellow Mouseketeer <a href="Lonnie_Burr" title="Lonnie Burr">Lonnie Burr</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-oregonlive/funicellos_first_kiss_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-oregonlive/funicellos_first_kiss-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-silive/goofy_about_disney/60_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-silive/goofy_about_disney/60-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Saying goodbye to cast members in the 1958 show finale, Funicello said "I never cried so hard in my life".<sup id="cite_ref-Family_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Family-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In addition to appearing in many Mouseketeer sketches and dance routines, Funicello starred in several serials on <i>The Mickey Mouse Club</i>.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Singing_career">Singing career</h3></div>
<p>In several scenes in the <i>Annette</i> serial, she performed the song that launched her singing career. The studio received so much mail about "How Will I Know My Love" (lyrics by <a href="Tom_Adair" title="Tom Adair">Tom Adair</a>, music by Frances Jeffords and William Walsh),<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that Walt Disney issued it as a single, and gave Funicello (somewhat unwillingly) a recording contract.<sup id="cite_ref-interview_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interview-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A proposed live-action feature, <i><a href="The_Rainbow_Road_to_Oz" title="The Rainbow Road to Oz">The Rainbow Road to Oz</a></i>, was to have starred some of the Mouseketeers, including <a href="Darlene_Gillespie" title="Darlene Gillespie">Darlene Gillespie</a> as Dorothy and Funicello as Ozma.

Disney ultimately replaced this film project with a new adaptation of <i><a href="Babes_in_Toyland_(1961_film)" title="Babes in Toyland (1961 film)">Babes in Toyland</a></i> (1961), which starred Funicello as Mary Contrary.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Post-Mickey_Mouse_Club">Post-<i>Mickey Mouse Club</i></h3></div>
<p>After the <i>Mickey Mouse Club</i>, Funicello remained under contract with Disney for a time.

</p><p>Funicello made her feature film debut in the Disney-produced comedy <i><a href="The_Shaggy_Dog_(1959_film)" title="The Shaggy Dog (1959 film)">The Shaggy Dog</a></i> (1959) with <a href="Fred_MacMurray" title="Fred MacMurray">Fred MacMurray</a> and <a href="Tommy_Kirk" title="Tommy Kirk">Tommy Kirk</a>.

</p><p>Although uncomfortable being thought of as a singer, Funicello had a number of pop record hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly written by the <a href="Sherman_Brothers" title="Sherman Brothers">Sherman Brothers</a> and including: "<a href="Tall_Paul_(song)" title="Tall Paul (song)">Tall Paul</a>", "First Name Initial", "<a href="O_Dio_Mio" title="O Dio Mio">O Dio Mio</a>", "Train of Love" (written by <a href="Paul_Anka" title="Paul Anka">Paul Anka</a>) and "<a href="Pineapple_Princess" title="Pineapple Princess">Pineapple Princess</a>". They were released by Disney's <a href="Disney_Music_Group" title="Disney Music Group">Buena Vista</a> label. She also recorded "It's Really Love" in 1959, a reworking of an earlier Paul Anka song called "Toot Sweet" (which was later reworked again into <i>Johnny's Theme</i> for <i><a href="The_Tonight_Show_Starring_Johnny_Carson" title="The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson">The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson</a></i>).
</p><p>In an episode of the <a href="Disney_anthology_television_series" title="Disney anthology television series">Disney anthology television series</a> titled "<a href="Disneyland_After_Dark" title="Disneyland After Dark">Disneyland After Dark</a>", Funicello can be seen singing live at <a href="Disneyland" title="Disneyland">Disneyland</a>. Walt Disney was reportedly a fan of 1950s pop star <a href="Teresa_Brewer" title="Teresa Brewer">Teresa Brewer</a> and tried to pattern Funicello's singing on the same style. However, Funicello credits "the Annette sound" to her record producer, <a href="Tutti_Camarata" class="mw-redirect" title="Tutti Camarata">Tutti Camarata</a>, who worked for Disney in that era. Camarata had her <a href="Double_tracking" title="Double tracking">double-track</a> her vocals, matching her first track as closely as possible on the second recording to achieve a fuller sound than her voice would otherwise produce. Early in her career, she appeared on the <a href="NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> interview program <i><a href="Here's_Hollywood" title="Here's Hollywood">Here's Hollywood</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-interview_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interview-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>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. She was receiving $325 a week (About $3,000 in 2020 dollars). The court refused.<sup id="cite_ref-court_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-court-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Return_to_Disney">Return to Disney</h3></div>
<p>In 1961, Funicello returned to <i>Zorro</i> playing a different role.

<p>When she was cast in her first beach movie, Walt Disney requested that she wear only modest bathing suits and keep her <a href="Navel" title="Navel">navel</a> covered. However, she wore a pink two-piece in <i>Beach Party</i>, a white two-piece fishnet suit in the second film (<i>Muscle Beach Party</i>), and a blue and white bikini in the third (<i>Bikini Beach</i>). All three swimsuits bared her navel, particularly in <i>Bikini Beach</i>, where it is visible extensively during close up shots in a sequence early in the film when she meets Frankie Avalon's "Potato Bug" character outside his tent.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
