When she turned 13, Annette and her mother moved to Los Angeles for a year to check if the actress had a shot at a career in the entertainment business. Annette landed her first professional job dancing with Danny Kaye on the “Danny Kaye Show ” within two months. She recalled the role being beneficial to her:

“I’ve used my singing and dancing training in so many ways. The discipline you get from that is wonderful for an actor.”

In 1975, the actress started her film career when she played Doria, a Young American Miss in the satirical comedy film “Smile.” The actress’s favorite film out of all is the 1987 romance-comedy “Cross My Heart.”
