Bonni Lou Kern

Disney made the world a whole lot brighter when they aired the children’s show The Mickey Mouse Club in the 50s. Actress Bonni Lou Kern was among the generation of kids whose lives were touched by Disney’s magic. She was credited as one of the Mousketeers on the television show since 1955. Her most notable performance on the show was in the episode titled Save Bonni Lou Kern! She was only fourteen years of age when she was first featured on the small screen. She also appeared in Save The Wonder Mouseketeers.

Outside of The Mickey Mouse Club, Kern ventured into the world of puppeteering. She became a muppeteer for The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, and The Muppet Show. In the 1960s, the former Mouseketeer tied the knot in Hawaii to Harol Carr.
