Farewell Shirley Temple

Recommended Posts

Sad to hear of the passing of Shirley Temple. She was a unique talent, dancing, singing and acting during a very low period (the 30's [and yes before my time]) in this countries history.

Watching Shirley dance with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in a series of films is priceless.

Rest well my dear.....

When Shirley Temple came to the San Francisco Film Festival (in the 1960s) she sat in on the John Ford Director's retrospective. The host didn't always have his facts right -- especially the dates of Ford's films, and other not so trivial trivia. Ford didn't jump in and make corrections -- it's possible he was going deaf by then -- but Shirley repeatedly piped up and supplied the correct information. She was rumored to have a photographic memory.

Yes, the pairing of her with Bill Robinson was one of the master strokes of filmmaking.
