One last shot from the Mickey Mouse Club magazine, this one showing Mousketeers Darlene and Lonnie. I wonder what all the surviving Mousketeers are doing today - they are probably all in their late 60s & early 70s and retired.
I wish you didn't ask that question. I googled Mouseketeer Darlene and learned that she and her husband have been in legal trouble countless times for securities fraud, shoplifting and other crimes. A much sadder later stage than she must have expected as a teen.
Looks like a bargain...way before my time, of course.
ReplyDeleteYES! Darlene! Give her props. haha
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they are! What fun to see these photos!
ReplyDeleteMickey hasn't aged a day ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey probably are, but I hope they remember how important they were to so many folks, even yet today! Long live M.I.C.K.E.Y M.O.U.S.E!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool series!
ReplyDeletePerhaps they are busy with their magazine collection!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I loved "le journal de Mickey"!
I think I read that Mickey was now 70 years old. And let me tell you, that's old for a mouse!
ReplyDeleteI would imagine they must be retired.

ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to find them all and have a chat and take their pics

ReplyDeleteI often wonder what young stars do once the fame is over, so many of them don't handle it well, looks like Jack found out this to be true :(
