She was surely special and the 3 sheet is beautiful reminder of how bright her star was. Thanks Kirby. I used to watch her films on TV in the 50's and 60's while growing up in Los Angeles and I loved them, even if Roy Rogers and Commando Cody were more my style.
While I see the trades referring to the passing of Shirley Temple, I notice much of TV and Radio is referring to the passing of Shirley Temple Black and referring to her political and humanitarian life as much as her films. To what extent that might be a generational thing? While it is fair to say that the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Walker occurred under sensational circumstances, I wonder just how well Shirley Temple is known to today's DVD buying public compared to other stars from the 30's whose films still seem to be exhibited with some frequency? May she and Bill Robinson be dancing again through eternity. RIP From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kirby McDaniel Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 8:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] LITTLE MISS BROADWAY One of the last great film icons of the 30s has passed. There just aren't very many left. Shirley Temple film posters were really some of the first collected. LIFE magazine once did a big color spread called FOOFS - Friends of Old Films - which featured Jane Withers and her film poster collection, many of which were Shirley Temple one sheets and larger format posters. This LIFE magazine issue was done in the mid-eighties. That stuff might be online somewhere. Jane was "the poor man's Shirley Temple", another Fox child star. At the risk of incurring ire, and being branded as crass, I will post this link to our site and one of the best Temple three sheets, I think. http://www.movieart.com/little-miss-broadway-1938-16326/ Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O.
