"I want to see more of the black and white little girl," requested my four year old, back when we all rented old movies. So we rented another Shirley Temple movie.
If you have not yet showed the Shirley Temple movies to your children, you should watch one tonight. I do not remember wincing even once during these old movies. The movies are very Downton Abbey meets Little Orphan Annie. And the dance numbers! Sometimes it is not necessary to talk in order to teach one of the most important lessons of all.
Now the woman the child became is dead. But the child star will live on forever in the imaginations of every succeeding generation of children.
