[MOPO] RIP Shirley Temple

2014-02-11 Thread Bruce Hershenson
RIP Shirley Temple. She was born in Santa Monica, California in 1928. Her mother quickly saw her remarkable talent, and did all she could to develop it, and to get her noticed. She enrolled her in a dance school, where she amazed everyone with her dancing and singing abilities at such a young age.

[MOPO] A vocal supporter of the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon.

When she was seven years old, her life was insured with Lloyd's of London, and the contract stipulated that no benefits would be paid if the child film star met with death or injury while intoxicated. blue bird---18---8001500---g8/us169.JPG fort apache---7+---200400---jw/jw20.JPG adventure

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

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
