Wow Susan. You have that three-sheet! How cool!!!!! If you sell any of your collection, I hope you have a exhibit first. It certainly sounds gallery worthy. I'd be there! I'd certainly buy too! You are an impressive woman for sure. What an inspiration you are to all of us.

I have collected Shirley Temple posters since I first began collecting over 40 years ago. Those posters will be the hardest to let go of when I finally get around to selling off my collection. I have the Littlest Colonel framed above my bed and Curly Top and Bright Eyes in my hallway. I have never had room to put up my Stowaway 3 sheet that is shown in the previous email, but I look at it often and it is one of the most beautiful of her film posters. I get asked all the time what my favorite Temple movie is and it is hard to say as, while I know all the individual plots, they sort of all blend together in a child's mind of laughter and joy. Sounds a bit corny now, but I needed those movies as much as a child of the 50's as the people of the country needed them in the 30's when they were originally shown. There are certain scenes from her movies that are so vivid in my head, like the scene in Bright Eyes where her mother is running across the street with the birthday cake and gets hit by a car. That scene where David Butler cuts to a closeup on that smashed birthday cake is a killer.... anyway, she had an amazing life and I'm thankful for all those wonderful memories that she left us...
