She certainly handled everything very gracefully and graciously.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-32465467139070277772014-02-12T21:54:14.652+00:002014-02-12T21:54:14.652+00:00Moira - Shirley Temple was a streak of sunshine at...Moira - Shirley Temple was a streak of sunshine at a time when people were desperate for it. Her experiences in some ways those of Judy Garland - another star of the same era. It's hard to believe in today's world just how vulnerable those child stars were. Or perhaps it's not.

I do enjoy celebrity biog/autobiogs. Another of my favourites is Tammy Wynnette's.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-29204465737481665152014-02-12T21:00:01.021+00:002014-02-12T21:00:01.021+00:00Sounds like a good autobiography, if I finish the ...Sounds like a good autobiography, if I finish the 10 other celebrity bios (Rita Hayworth, James Stewart, Elvis -- two volumes, Peter Sellers) I have I may look for it. I like Shirley Temple for her tap dancing and her dancing partners; tap dancing in movies and short subjects is my thing.

I suppose Jodie Foster is the main other person who really handled the transition gracefully.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-4397861864799750102014-02-12T13:15:13.565+00:002014-02-12T13:15:13.565+00:00I'd struggle to name a film she was in and I&#...I'd struggle to name a film she was in and I'd be more surprised to find it would be one I'd seen.

I read the whole review yesterday, and was quite astonished by how harsh it was, and he did basically imply that the studio was pimping out her image to older males. I don't know if that is libellous! I'm all for free speech myself, but he probably did break the rules of the time...?Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-76326977960771371132014-02-12T09:35:18.522+00:002014-02-12T09:35:18.522+00:00Never could understand how Greene's publishers...Never could understand how Greene's publishers lost that suit really but them was different times (apparently).Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
