I've always found Mr. Disney to be somewhat of a shy person, a kid at heart.

I was not prepared to live as a single parent..

Animation did not become the dominant form of children's television until the '60s..

I always considered myself a dancer before anything else..

I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father..

Whatever ambivalence I felt about my own career, Frankie more than made up for it with his ambition and tenacity..

MS is not really a degenerative illness. It is not fatal, nor is it always progressive..

Watching television in those days was not the same experience as it is today. After years of listening to radio, we found the black-and-white images ….

The mere thought of divorce terrified me. To me, divorce symbolized failure..

Just learning that you have MS is such a devastating shock..

Growing up in public is especially hard sometimes..

Whatever dreams I have wished have come true..

I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man..

As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family..

My dear friend Jimmie Dodd was the heart and the soul of The Mickey Mouse Club..

Most original viewers of the Mickey Mouse Club didn't face the crush of family and social problems children have today..
