Sherry Alberoni

From an early start as a Mouseketeer on "The Mickey Mouse Club," actress Sherry Alberoni went on to perform in various films and TV shows as well as lending her voice to animated series. Alberoni began modeling by age two, as well as learning to play the trumpet. She attended the opening day of Disneyland in 1955, where she met Walt Disney. The following year, she and her brother auditioned for the Mouseketeers, with Sherry riskily playing the trumpet while tap dancing. Despite her fancy footwork, it was her amusing lisp that clinched it, making her the youngest performer on the second season of "The Mickey Mouse Club." She made her feature film debut in Abbott and Costello's final picture, "Dance with Me, Henry," and proceeded to land guest spots in various TV series. After another film appearance, in "Gulliver's Travels," she became a regular on "The Tom Ewell Show." Alberoni also played recurring parts on the sitcoms "Family Affair" and "My Three Sons," and contributed her voice to such cartoons as "Josie and the Pussycats" and "Super Friends." Her oher outings included the stage musical "Victory Canteen," a couple of late-career schlocky horror flicks--"Nightmare Circus" and "Sisters of Death"--and appearances at various Mouseketeer reunion events.
