Keerthy Suresh, daughter of yesteryear actress Maneka and producer Suresh Kumar is making her entry into the industry as the heroine of Mohanlal. Keerthy born to Suresh Kumar and Menaka has shown her talent in acting right from the school days onwards. While studying at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Pattom, Trivandrum, Keerthy participated in various programmes conducted in the school.
Keerthy who had kept her filmy dreams high right from seven years has made a successful entry getting featured in Kuberan and Achaneyanenikkishtam. After completing school education, Keerthy along with her elder sister Revathy wished to follow the path set by their father and kept keen interest on the technical aspects of filmmaking.
Moving away from the world of entertainment Keerthy joined the Pearl Academy of Fashion in New Delhi. The fashion designing course was taken intentionally to keep high dreams about her profession. During the while, her sister Revathy was doing her Masters in Animation at a college in Florida.
The real turning point
Keerthy who flew to England to do higher education in fashion designing was not ready to sacrifice her acting dreams. Director Priyadarshan's phone call came as a surprise to the young charm who was invited to play a key role in the movie 'Gitanjali'. Even though the girl was showered with movie offers, her parent Menaka and Suresh declined as it would bring hindrance to her education.

Director Priyadarshan who was on the hunt to cast a new face, he wanted Keerthy to don an important role. Keerthy is blessed with the role of the twin characters Geetha or Anjali, paired opposite to Nishan.
The actress who had come from Mumbai only to attend the function has raised her voice against the inhuman incident. Even though Swetha Menon has not revealed the name of the person, from the visuals and various discussions conducted by various media, a well-known politician from Quilon is under scanner. Actor Kalabhavan Mani was also present at the function. While talking to television news channels, Swetha said that she had complained to District Collector B. Mohanan who was present at the venue.
"I am ashamed of what had happened. I have made a complaint to the district collector. I have nothing more to say now," she said. But when asked about it, the district collector Mohanan said he had not received any complaint from the actress.
After Shweta reveled about the callous incident through media, various women leaders have come forward voicing their protest over the incident. All the leaders wanted the authorities to take stern strong action against the culprit. Actor Innocent, the president of Association of Malayalam Movie Artists' (AMMA) also demanded rigorous action against the culprit who insulted actress Shweta Menon. Speaking to media, Dr.Lissy Jose Kerala Women's Commission (KWC) chairperson said that KWC would take action related to the issue.
Even though the movie is not a sequel of 'Manichithrathazhu', Keerthy would be shouldering a huge responsibility with expectations mounting upon the young actress.
It would be a rare occasion for superstar Mohanlal to share screen space first with the mother and now her daughter. Mohanlal is lending his support as Dr. Sunny in this movie while Mamta Mohandas is reported to be the other female lead. Annette Joanne Funicello (October 22, 1942 – April 8, 2013) was an American actress and singer. Funicello began her professional career as a child performer at the age of twelve. She rose to prominence as one of the most popular "Mouseketeers" on the original Mickey Mouse Club.[1] As a teenager, she transitioned to a successful career as a singer with the pop singles "O Dio Mio," "Tall Paul" and "Pineapple Princess", as well as establishing herself as a film actress, popularizing the successful "Beach Party" genre alongside co-star Frankie Avalon during the mid-1960s.
In 1992, Funicello announced that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She died of complications from the disease on April 8, 2013.[2][3]

§Early life[edit]
Annette Joanne Funicello was born in Utica, New York, to Italian Americans Virginia Jeanne (née Albano) and Joseph Funicello.[4] Her family moved to Southern California when she was four years old.[5]
§Career[edit]
§The Mickey Mouse Club[edit]
Funicello as a Mouseketeer on The Mickey Mouse Club (1956)
Annette took dancing and music lessons as a child in order to overcome shyness. In 1955, the 12-year-old was discovered by Walt Disney when she performed as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake at a dance recital at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank, California. Disney cast her as one of the original "Mouseketeers". She was the last to be selected, and one of the few cast-members to be personally selected by Walt Disney himself. She proved to be very popular and by the end of the first season of The Mickey Mouse Club, she was receiving 6,000 letters a month, according to her Disney Legends biography.
In addition to appearing in many Mouseketeer sketches and dance routines, Funicello starred in several serials on The Mickey Mouse Club. These included Adventure in Dairyland, Walt Disney Presents: Annette (which co-starred Richard Deacon), and the second and third Spin and Marty serials – The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty. In a hayride scene in the Annette serial, she performed the song that launched her singing career. The studio received so much mail about "How Will I Know My Love" (lyrics by Tom Adair, music by Frances Jeffords and William Walsh[6][7]), that Walt Disney issued it as a single, and gave Funicello (somewhat unwillingly) a recording contract.[8]
A proposed live-action feature Rainbow Road to Oz was to have starred some of the Mouseketeers, including Darlene Gillespie as Dorothy and Funicello as Ozma. Preview segments from the film aired on September 11, 1957 on Disneyland's fourth anniversary show.[9] By then, MGM's The Wizard of Oz had already been shown on CBS Television for the first time. Theories on why the film was abandoned include Disney's failure to develop a satisfactory script, and the popularity of the MGM film on television. Disney ultimately replaced this film project with a new adaptation of Babes in Toyland (1961), which starred Funicello as "Mary Contrary".
§Singing and acting[edit]

After the Mickey Mouse Club, she remained under contract with Disney for a time, with television roles in Zorro, Elfego Baca, and The Horsemasters. For Zorro she played Anita Cabrillo in a three-episode storyline about a teen-aged girl arriving in Los Angeles to visit a father who does not seem to exist. This role was reportedly a birthday present from Walt Disney, and the first of two different characters played opposite Guy Williams as Zorro. Annette also co-starred in Disney-produced movies such as The Shaggy Dog, Babes in Toyland, The Misadventures of Merlin Jones, and The Monkey's Uncle.[10]
Although uncomfortable being thought of as a singer, Funicello had a number of pop record hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly written by the Sherman Brothers and including: "Tall Paul," "First Name Initial," "O Dio Mio," "Train of Love" (written by Paul Anka) and "Pineapple Princess." They were released by Disney's Buena Vista label. Annette also recorded "It's Really Love" in 1959, a reworking of an earlier Paul Anka song called "Toot Sweet"; Anka reworked the song for a third time in 1962 as "Johnny's Theme" and it opened The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on television for the next three decades. Paul Anka was noted to have a crush on her, however, Walt Disney overprotected Annette, which broke Paul's heart. This resulted in his song "Puppy Love", which was inspired by his hopeless romantic crush on Annette.
In an episode of the Disney anthology television series titled "Disneyland After Dark," Funicello can be seen singing live at Disneyland. Walt Disney was reportedly a fan of 1950s pop star Teresa Brewer and tried to pattern Funicello's singing on the same style. However, Funicello credits "the Annette sound" to her record producer, Tutti Camarata, who worked for Disney in that era. Camarata had her double-track her vocals, matching her first track as closely as possible on the second recording to achieve a fuller sound than her voice would otherwise produce.[citation needed] Early in her career, she appeared on the NBC interview program Here's Hollywood.[8]
Funicello and Frankie Avalon at the height of the "Beach Party" era
§Beach icon and spokeswoman[edit]
Funicello moved on from Disney to become a teen idol, starring in a series of "Beach Party" movies with Frankie Avalon for American International Pictures. These started with Beach Party (1963), which was so successful American International Pictures signed Funicello to a seven year contract,[11] and was followed by Muscle Beach Party (1964), Bikini Beach (1964), Pajama Party (1964), Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965).
When she was cast in her first beach movie, Walt Disney requested that she wear only modest bathing suits and keep her navel covered. However, she wore a pink two-piece in Beach Party, a white two-piece fishnet suit in the second film (Muscle Beach Party) and a blue and white bikini in the third (Bikini Beach). All three swimsuits bared her navel, particularly in Bikini Beach, where it is visible extensively during close up shots in a sequence early in the film when she meets Frankie Avalon's "Potato Bug" character outside his tent.[12]
She and Avalon became iconic as "beach picture" stars and were re-united in 1987 for the Paramount film Back to the Beach, parodying their own surf-and-sand films two decades earlier. They toured the country as a singing act.
In 1979, Funicello began starring in a series of television commercials for Skippy peanut butter.[13]
Her autobiography, dictated to Patricia Romanowski and published in 1994, was A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: My Story. The title was taken from a song from the Disney movie Cinderella. A made-for-TV movie based on the book, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: The Annette Funicello Story, was made in 1995. In the final scene, the actress portraying Funicello (Eva LaRue), using a wheelchair, turns away from the camera — turning back, it is Funicello herself, who delivered a message to a group of children. During this period, she produced a line of teddy bears for the Annette Funicello Collectible Bear Company.[5] The last collection in the series was made in 2004. She also had her own fragrance called "Cello, by Annette".
§Personal life[edit]
Funicello and Frankie Avalon reunited for the television special Good Ol' Days, 1977
Funicello's best friend was actress and singer Shelley Fabares. She and Fabares had been friends since they were young teenagers in a catechism class, and Fabares was a bridesmaid at Funicello's first wedding. She was also very close to fellow Mouseketeers Lonnie Burr (she later claimed in an autobiography that he was her first boyfriend during the first season of the Mickey Mouse Club), Sharon Baird, Doreen Tracey, Cheryl Holdridge, her "Disney" co-star, Tommy Kirk, and her "Beach" movies co-star, Frankie Avalon. Annette was raised in a Catholic family.[14]
§Marriages and children[edit]
Funicello was married to her first husband, Jack Gilardi, from 1965 until 1981. They had three children: Gina (b. 1966), Jack, Jr. (b. 1970), and Jason (b. 1974). In 1986, she married California harness racing horse breeder/trainer Glen Holt.[5] The couple was frequently seen at Los Alamitos Race Course and at Fairplex in Pomona in the 1980s and 1990s attending harness horse races.
In March 2011, her Encino, California, home caught fire. She suffered smoke inhalation, but was otherwise unharmed.[15]
After the fire, Funicello and Holt then began living full-time at the modest ranch that they had purchased decades earlier, located just south of Shafter, California (north of Bakersfield). That remained her primary residence until her death.[16]
§Illness, death, and legacy[edit]
In early 1987, Funicello reunited with Frankie Avalon for a series of promotional concerts to promote their film Back to the Beach. She began to suffer from dizzy spells, but kept her failing health from her friends and family. In 1992, Funicello announced that she was suffering from multiple sclerosis.[17] She had kept her condition a secret for many years, but felt that it was necessary for her to go public in order to combat rumors that her impaired ability to walk was the result of alcoholism. In 1993, she opened the Annette Funicello Fund for Neurological Disorders at the California Community Foundation.[18]
On October 6, 2012, the CTV flagship current affairs program W5 profiled Funicello as an update on her after she had spent fifteen years out of the public eye. The profile revealed that her disease had severely damaged her nervous system; Funicello had lost the ability to walk in 2004, the ability to speak in 2009, and, at the time of the profile, she required round-the-clock care in order to survive. In the profile, Holt and Fabares discussed Funicello's state at the time, as well as the numerous medical interventions and treatments that had been attempted in order to improve her condition.[19]
On April 8, 2013, Funicello died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, California, at the age of 70, from complications due to multiple sclerosis.[20] At the time of her death, Annette's family and her closest friend and actress Shelley Fabares were with her.[21] Her funeral was a private ceremony held on April 12, 2013, at the Cherished Memories Memorial Chapel in Bakersfield, CA.[22] Commenting on her death, Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said,
Annette was and always will be a cherished member of the Disney family, synonymous with the word Mouseketeer, and a true Disney Legend. She will forever hold a place in our hearts as one of Walt Disney's brightest stars, delighting an entire generation of baby boomers with her jubilant personality and endless talent. Annette was well known for being as beautiful inside as she was on the outside, and she faced her physical challenges with dignity, bravery and grace. All of us at Disney join with family, friends, and fans around the world in celebrating her extraordinary life.[23]
After her death, the 2013 Disney Channel Original Movie movie Teen Beach Movie was dedicated to her memory.[citation needed]
In 1992, she was inducted as a Disney Legend.[24]
She received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for motion pictures on September 14, 1993, located at 6834 Hollywood Blvd.
