"Come along and sing this song and join our jamboree". ..that was the open invitation to fun at the Mickey Mouse Club. The classic variety show first aired on October 3, 1955 with the final episode showcased on March 7, 1996. Walt Disney created "The Mickey Mouse Club" TV show to fund the construction of his Disneyland theme park in California. The recent death of Annette Funicello, one of the most famous mouseketeers, made some wonder what happened to the cast members they came to love while watching the show through the years.
We doubt Disney ever
imagined he'd be launching the careers of some of the biggest stars in
Hollywood, too. Take a look at some of the stars that got their start at the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
