hundred.Alberoni displayed a generosity of spirit that would stay with
her throughout her life. She volunteered for charity work, and became
so successful at it that she was proclaimed a "Red Feather" girl by

Alberoni and her brother tried out for the Mouseketeers in the spring
of 1956. Roy was up first, and after realizing his chance was slipping

director Sidney Miller thought it was hilarious.
