NASHVILLE, TENN.
(AP) — Annette Funicello,
the raven-haired adolescent
beauty from The Mickey
Mouse Club, has traded her
Mousketeer ears to sing
country music.

Twenty-five years ago, the
popular entertainer made
such popular hits as Tall Paul
and Pineapple Princess. Now
she has an LP for Starview
Records, The Annette Funi-
cello Country Album.

single, The Promised Land.
It is a heart-wrenching song
praising the late Walt Disney
and Funicello's parents. It is
true country music styling
that would make Loretta
Lynn proud.

“Not many people know
this, but I was raised on
country music,” Funicello
said in an interview. “My
mother and father were big
country music fans and I
grew up listening to it with
them. They liked Bob Wills
and Eddy Arnold.”

.late afternoon TV series.
Millions of children in the 50s
don the little black mouse
ears and sprawled before
their TV sets to watch An-
nette, Cubby, Darlene, Tom-
my and the others romp
through song and dance fan-
tasies.

In the 60s Funicello turned
to movies after a stab at her
own TV series, Annette. She
made a half dozen Disney
films, including The Shaggy
Dog, Babes in Toyland, Mer-
lin Jones and The Monkey's
Uncle.

From 1963-67, she and
teen-age idol Frankie Avalon
became North America’s
sweethearts of the beach
blanket set.

GOOD CLEAN FUN

Frankie and I had a great
time together,” Funicello
said. “We had weenie roasts
at night, and I learned to
surf. The movies were every-
one’s dream of the perfect
summer vacation. They Were
good, clean fin, and not’ too
heavy.” .

They were so clean, in fact;
that Funicello honored Dis-
ney’s request that she cover
her navel in the movies to
protect her pure image.

Funicello and Avalon are
planning an updated movie, a
sort of Annette and Frankie
at the beach 20 years later.
They'll have a daughter.

“There’s such an audience
out there who want to see
Frankie and Annette on the
beach again,” she said.

Funicello, divorced from
Jack Gilardi, the agent she
married in 1965, lives with
her children, an 18-year-old
daughter and boys aged 14
and 9, in Encino, Calif., right

around the corner from su-
perstar Michael Jackson.

Just as her straight-laced
image suggests, she's family
oriented, selling food for her
boys’ Little League and doing
volunteer work at their
school.

Her original Mickey Mouse
ears are long gone. But the
ones she wore on a 25-year
reunion show in 1980 are
bronzed and on display at her
home with other Disney

fer. “I want to get a multi-
hull and sail the world.”

“I put out word that I was
interested in a TV series,”
says Vincent. “I wanted to
work for a while. You can't

where I am today without
them.”

She recalled that the
Mousketeers'’ pay was
docked $50 each time they
lost their ears. “After that
happened a couple of times,
we took great care with
them,” she said.

She decided to record a
country music album after
doing the single, The Prom-
ised Land. ‘The LP also in-
cludes her versions of Freddy

Breaker Morant
‘ruthless killer’?

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (AP) — Though a symbol of
the fight against injustice and hypocrisy and celebrated as a
fiero ip a book and film, Breaker Morant was really a
ruthless killer, says the*man”who helped immortalize him.

Kit Denton wrote The Breaker 14 years ago. The novel
was a fictionalized account of a group of Australian officers
put on trial in 1902 for killing prisoners during the Boer War
in South Africa. It and Breaker Morant — the critically-
acclaimed Bruce Beresford film that followed — caught the
imaginations of millions with the story of an Australian
soldier unjustly executed by the British.

Since writing the novel, Denton has discovered a
petition signed by 61 soldiers in Morant's unit protesting the
“crimes” of their officers along with evidence showing
Morant was more often an executioner than a soldier.

Denton has written a new book, Closed File, about the
Morant issue.

A search into Morant’s past showed him to be a
ruthless, violent man who could kill for excitement, Denton
said in an interview.

Tearing down a hero, Denton said, can be more difficult
than creating one. Many Australians have not been pleased
at seeing Morant besmirched, especially by the writer who
helped to exonerate him.

FACES ABUSE

“You'd be astonished at the abuse I've received since
Closed File,” he said. “I've been accused of diminishing the
Australian character.”

Denton believed his first novel was a true story.
“Morant lived, wrote, fought and died pretty much the way
I've pictured it,” he wrote in the preface of his book.

Australians who remembered Harry Harbord Morant,
nicknamed Breaker because of his horse-breaking skills,

* thought he was sacrificed after a rigged trial by British

generals eager to appease complaints about war atrocities.
But there were unanswered‘ questions about what
happened and Denton wanted to know more. He searched

Young took on
role of widower

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It
sounds like miscasting: tough
guy Burt Young, who played
the bluff and burly brother-
in-law in Rocky and its se-
quel, Rocky II, as a widower
faced with the task of rearing
a young daughter.

But that's the role Young
took on when his wife, Gloria,
died 12 years ago. Their
child, Anne, was just three
years old.

“I had no doubt that I'd
give her everything pos-
sible,” Young, 44, said in a
recent telephone interview
from New York. “I'd do my
best to retain the qualities of
a family as much as I could.”

Young, a Los Angeles res-
ident, said he had a swarm of
New York aunts and uncles
all ready to help out.

But the day-to-day job of
caring for Anne was his,
along with the pressures of
pursuing a Hollywood career.
Young’s other major movie
edits include Cinderella
Liberty, Chinatown, The
Choirboys, Convoy and the

made-for-television film The
Gambler.

“The kid would always
come first, no matter what,”
Young said.

And the kid, he said,
turned out all right.

“She's bright and compas-
sionate,” he said of Anne, a
15-year-old sophomore at
Beverly Hills High School.
“Her heart really shines.

“I have nothing but a great
time. I've been to the high
school, peeking in class-
rooms, making a fool of my-
self.”

Young is more than willing
to give credit where it's due.

“She could make anyone
look good,” he said. “There's
never been a bad moment.
When you think it couldn't
get anymore delicious, it gets
better and better.”

But he's willing to take a
bow himself: His parental in-
stincts proved to be on tar-
get, Young said.

“I am pretty tough, but I
have ears and I always tried
not to say no without listen-
ing.”

Toronto singer
has new album

WINNIPEG (CP) — Lisa
Dal Bello, a Toronto singer
who left the music scene des-
pite having a hit single a few
years ago, is back with a new
record, a new ‘outlook and
new name — simply Dalbello.

Dalbello, 25, left Los An-
geles three years ago, a dis-
contented pop singer. She
felt her talent wasn't being
tapped despite her hit single,
Pretty Girls, in 1978.

Dalbello said that after
years of writing and singing
what others wanted to hear,
she decided it was time to
follow her own lead, to be-
come “selfish.”

“I didn’t like what I was
writing about,” she said. “I
want to stress that there's
nothing wrong with pop
songs. It’s just that I didn't
feel I wrote them as well as
other people did.

“That wasn't my niche.”

Her solution? Dalbello re-
turned to Toronto and div.
orced herself from music.

“As difficult as it was, as
painful sometimes as it was, I
had to stop,” she said. “I said,
‘Forget about music right
now and be selfish. Let's
start re-educating and some-
times de-educating.’ ”

She studied a course in
women and law at York Uni-
versity, read a lot, and grew
up a little more.

“T felt like a new child,” she
said. “It was fulfilling .. . I
felt comfortable with myself,
because I was discovering
who I was, and that was de-
fined by how I felt about
things.”

Her latest album, entitled
Whomanfoursays (prounoun-
ced who-man-for-says), was
released a month ago in
England and more recently in
Canada.

Begun as poetry at a time
when Dalbello wasn't even
sure she’s ever record again,
the record is a reflection of
her feminist and humanist
beliefs.

The album's title is a play
on two words: human forces.
These, Dalbello says, deter-
mine who we are — but she
adds that we in part deter.
mine the forces that shape
us.

End of Trudeau era

By WARREN CARAGATA

OTTAWA (CP) — The world was a more innocent
place then and all the problems were solvable.

So it seemed that fine spring day in April 1968 when
Pierre Elliott Trudeau assumed the Liberal leadership, a
job’only six other men had held before.

We believed a new world was being born and
Canada’s time had come.

“We were still in a post-Centennial euphoria,” says
York U is ian Jack in. “It proved

communities, in the way we thought about the world and
about ourselves, a time of clamor for the power that had
rested too long with old men and institutions that no
longer seemed to respond. ~

Two days before Trudeau was elected on the fourth
ballot, Martin-Luther King was assassinated by a sniper’s
bullet in Memphis, Angry blacks set the torch to Amer-
ica’s cities and those on the tonvention floor were as mes-
merized by those events as by the event they were part
of.

we could do things and Trudeau was the embodi of,
that sentiment.

“Canada was going to have the most modern leader
in the world.”

Only four times before in this century have the
Liberals selected a new leader, so Trudeau's departure
this week is-a milestone for the nation.

CONVINCING WIN

A of cit prop him to the
leadership and, a few months later, to a
election win.

Expo 67 had put Canada at the centre of the world
stage. The’ celebration of our Centennial gave us an
unparalleled sense of our power, future and past.

There was also, says author and social historian
George Woodcock, a flowering of Canadian culture and
nationalism that Trudeau also seemed to represent.

“As well as riding the wings of participatory
democracy, he was also riding the wings of a reawakened
national pride,” Woodcock says.

Even the little things gave us a sense of our place —

Winter Olympics that year, Montreal's successful bid for
