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

At the beginning of 1955 only about 60 percent of American homes had TVs.

The original Mickey Mouse Club, established in the '30s, was designed to attract children to movie theaters.

Dick Clark really didn't make rock 'n roll safe for America, as many people think.

Of the many guests we welcomed to the Mickey Mouse Club, my absolute favorites were the Lennon Sisters.

Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful.

Mickey Mouse... is always there-he's part of my life. That really is something not everyone can call their claim to fame.
