 Former
Mouseketeer Bonita Lynn Fields Elder, who showcased her dancing skills on the 1950s children’s show ‘‘The
Mickey Mouse Club’’ and later performed on Broadway, has died in Indiana at age 68.
She was 12 in 1957, when her dancing abilities helped her win a slot on the third season of ‘‘The Mickey Mouse Club.’’
She auditioned in California, where her family had moved from Indiana when she was 9.
Elder always went by the name Lynn, but she adopted the stage name ‘‘Bonnie’’ a shortened version of her real
first name at the suggestion of the show’s producers because there was already a cast member, a boy, with the first name Lynn.

Bonnie landed bit parts in thel 1960s movies, including ‘‘Kissin’ Cousins’’ with Elvis Presley and ‘‘Bye Bye Birdie’’ with Ann-Margret |
