and encouraging us in 1990 to oppose saddam hussein's takeover of kuwait. for britain, she was an exceptionally strong lead anywhere defending british sovereignty in the falkland islands in the 1982 war. we've seen very few people like her and she's obviously made a huge mark in history. >> nick burns, we all remember her telling george w. bush, herbert walker bush, rather, not to go wobbly against saddam hussein when he invaded kuwait. thank you, nick, thanks for being with us today. >>> and there's another loss today -- singer, actress, annette funai cello has died at the age of 70, she was the most popular member of the mickey mouse club in the '50s and went on to appear in beach party films like "beach blanket bingo" in 1992. funicello announced she was suffering from multiple sclerosis. she was born in new york in 1942. >>> margaret thatcher was remembered fondly by another close friend, nancy reagan. in a statement, the former first lady wrote, i've learned with great sadness of the death of baroness thatcher. she'll be remembered as one of britain's
