TRAGEDY-plagued Annette Funicello is reeling from a heartbreaking new crisis – she’s being isolated from her children and grandchildren by her controlling second husband, say sources.
The former “Mickey Mouse Club” star, 70, is virtually cut off from her loved ones by her devoted caregiver hubby Glen Holt, 82, who relocated the couple from Los Angeles to rural Bakersfield after their house burned to the ground in March 2011.
Nearly 30 years ago, “Annie” – as she is called by her family – was diagnosed with chronic, progressive multiple sclerosis. Today, the ’60s Hollywood princess, who is famous for her films with Frankie Avalon, is wheelchair-bound and cannot speak, move or even swallow as a result of the ravaging disease.
