For those of you who grew up watching the old B&W Mickey Mouse Club, either first-run or in reruns like me, this made my heart sink.
Cheryl Holdridge died on Jan. 5th, at the age of 64, from lung cancer. As a mouseketeer, she was second in popularity (and fan mail) only to Annette.
After her Mickey Mouse Club days, she also guest-starred on many TV shows, including a 2-year stint as Wally Cleaver's girlfriend on Leave It To Beaver.
But what I never knew was that she was married to Lance Reventlow, Barbara Hutton's son, from 1964 (when she retired from acting) until his death from a plane crash in 1972.
Cheryl was known for her smile. There's a big article in today's L.A. Times with very nice photos.

Posted: 1/10/09 at 11:19amI used to watch the MMC reruns, and after Annette, Cheryl was one I remembered as well. My sympathies to her family and friends.

They did indeed. Wish I could do that!
I have to confess, when I saw the "headline" on aol, my first thought was Annette, as I believe she has been in poor health of late.

Posted: 1/10/09 at 1:04pmAnnette is in very poor health and hasn't been able to speak or make public appearances for some time now. So sad.

Doesn't Annette have something like Muscular Dystrophy?
I'd give good cash money if Disney would air the original Mickey Mouse Club and The Wonderful World of Disney again. I remember particularly loving the nature documentaries. I can't find them on DVD.

Posted: 1/10/09 at 5:25pmI remember when I was little they would have these rerun very late at night on Disney. I used to stay up and watch MMC all the time. I always thought Cheryl was so pretty, she passed away young. RIP =[
