although she grow up in what many would describe a a fairy tale world and this movie show that not all hollywood production be happily ever after . i be glad to see that and unlike many biography and annette chose to tell the true story and both happy and sad . her failed relationship with paul anka and her divorce from jack and and her subsequent revealing of her m and show what a strong and wonderful person she be . a true stroke of genius by the writer and director and producer and and annie herself to use the real annette throughout the movie and to use her real family during gina wedding . i hope her surgery in 1999 be successful and that she be do well .
