SHIRLEY TEMPLE and HERE was always smiling AND cute. So, I always sang along with her, pretending I could dance like her too....But, what I really liked was that Shirley aways saved the day and seemed smarter than all the 'grown ups' in EVERY movie...no matter what, she had all the answers and was the wisest of them all...and, the grown ups all just loved her. She made over 40 movies before she was 12 years old.
As a kid, she gave me hope that one day I'd be the hero and accepted by all the grown ups. But, was it real or pretend? Does it matter? Yes, and in her 'for-real' ilfe she became a real hero, just like her eariler movies. Imagine that! She gave alot of folks hope when she appeared during and after the depression. Later in her life, she was appointed U.S. delegate to the UNITED NATIONS and HERE and the ambassador to GHANA and CZEHOSLOVAKIA. Always giving the world hope, that's what I'll remember about her. 
I read this morning on CNN that Shirley Temple died yesterday of 'natural causes'....old age, I guess that's what that means. Thank you for being such a giver, Shirley Temple.  Love, Jan
