About lonnie
Hello. My recently published memoir, "Confessions of an Accidental Mouseketeer", tells most of the story - I was born in 1943 and the book describes my life and times through January, 2009. It is available from my site: www.mouseketeerlonnieburr.com, the publisher: www.bearmanormedia as well as Amazon, Barnes and Noble and book sellers internationally, including India!?! I became a professional actor, dancer and singer in 1948 at 5 working in TV, theatre, film, radio, commercials, modelling and even once in a circus! I became Mouseketeer Lonnie at 11, 1 of 4 boys to last the entire filming of the original "Mickey Mouse Club" (1955-59). The iconic children's show hit 18 countries beginning in 1960 and was translated into 5 languages. Since then it has added, among other countries, Russia, which I just found out online from a fan. Our series' longest run was 12 years straight in Australia and in the USA in every decade since through 2002. After graduating high school at 14 I went straight through a BA, MA and an unfinished PhD. As an adult I returned to performing (Elvis, Bob Hope, Dustion Hoffman, Ginger Rogers, Robin Williams, Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger, etcetera) added direction, choreography and writing to my career pursuits - newspapers/magazines/ezines, plays, poetry, books, screenplays, teleplays and many radioplays.My wife of 38 years and I just moved from San Clemente, CA [beach city half way between L.A. and San Diego] to Beaverton, OR which is just outside Portland. I collect first editions and my wife and I are bird watchers, although we do not take our cat, Asta Astaire, on these excursions for obvious reasons - birds get nervous. Take a look at my site even if you have never heard of The Mickey Mouse Club.Fraternally,Mr. Lonnie Burr
