When you are young and healthy, it never occurs to you that in a single second your whole life could change.
Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.
In 1993 my birthday present was a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Dick Clark really didn't make rock 'n roll safe for America, as many people think.
Mickey Mouse... is always there-he's part of my life. That really is something not everyone can call their claim to fame.
Whatever dreams I have wished have come true.
Mr. Disney believed everyone was still a child deep inside.
For me, the wheelchair symbolizes disability in a way a cane does not.
Just learning that you have MS is such a devastating shock.
Animation did not become the dominant form of children's television until the '60s.
As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family.
As I travel across the country speaking about MS, perhaps I can offer others comfort and hope.
At the beginning of 1955 only about 60 percent of American homes had TVs.
Growing up in public is especially hard sometimes.
I always considered myself a dancer before anything else.
I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father.
I still don't know precisely why The Mickey Mouse Club ended when it did.
I was not prepared to live as a single parent.
I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man.
I've always found Mr. Disney to be somewhat of a shy person, a kid at heart.
