Shirley Temple, one of the biggest stars of the '30s, Hollywood's biggest decade, died yesterday at age 85.

DE NIRO gets on board. He's the only one who picked her.

Surprised I didn't think of her -- for some reason I had thought she was much older / already passed I guess...



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

No child star has ever come close to Shirley Temple in popularity. She was the biggest box office draw for a few years.

I am so sorry to hear that. frown Saw her movies on tv all the time when I was a kid.

One of my aunts (my dad's sister) who is around 80ish I think) got a Shirley Temple doll when she was little. Must have been during the peak of Temple's career. For whatever reason, that doll stayed in the box in the closet and only taken down at certain times I guess. I know my aunt kept it thru adulthood. I'll have to ask her if she still has it. Geez, back then it seemed old when she pulled out that doll...now almost ancient. lol

RIP Shirley Temple

I am old enough to have viewed a good bit of her performances over the years.Indeed, the best child performer ever is an understatement.

So?? The board is ruled by the laws of New York and New Jersey. They aren't community property states.

tongue lol

Seriously, though, I had my tv on as background noise today while I was repairing a clock. The old Regis Philbin show was on (don't know what it is called now) and Honey Boo Boo (or whatever the fuck her name is) was on as a guest. I can't believe that this child is a "star". Times sure have changed since Shirley Temple was a child star.

Times have changed sadly for both child stars and regular stars. And, honestly I feel sorry for child stars because of the traps in Hollywood or the music industry. Only so few came out and continued with their life like Shirley Temple.

Shirley Temple declined the role of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Also, in another thread we were talking about the album cover of Sgt. Pepper, and, yes, she's on it. In fact, she appears twice on the cover, and I believe she is the only non-Beatle to appear twice on that cover.

There are only four people still alive (other than Paul and ringo) from the cover: singers Bob Dylan, Bobby Breen, and Dion, and artist Larry Bell.

Now that you mention it, Temple would have been a good choice for Dorothy no?

I don't think Shirley had the right "look". Judy had that manic, stressed-out look..even then. Shirley would have been too bubbly. She would have tried to make friends with the wicked witch. smile

Comedy legend Sid Caesar died at age 91. A few of us had picked Sid for our lists.

He was one of early tv's biggest stars but I'll best remember him for his role in "Mad Mad World". He was brilliant in that scene in the department store basement.

R.I.P. Sid and thanks for the laughs.

Oh wow. Man, he was a very regular tv personality when I was young. Remember his wife Imogene Coca, right? confused They'd appear together sometimes too, if I remember correctly.

Sorry to hear that. RIP

Everything comes in three's. RIP Sid, really loved his performance in It's Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. And, speaking of that movie I think only Mickey Rooney, Jerry Lewis,Carl Reiner and Sylvester's girlfriend is still alive from the movie. I really love this movie.

Imogene Coca and Sid Caesar performed together for a number of years, but were never married to each other. Interestingly, the second of Coca's two husbands was actor King Donovan, who had a major supporting role in the original 1956 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

One of my favorite films is My Favorite Year, with Peter O'Toole and Mark Linn-Baker. In it, Joseph Bologna plays "King Kaiser", a parody of Sid Caesar. Definitely a film worth seeing.

I remember that back in 1970, TV Guide gathered the surviving principal actors from The Wizard of Oz for an interview that was published in the magazine. They spoke with Ray Bolger, Jack Haley and Margaret Hamilton. I can still recall Bolger's opinion when asked about Shirley Temple being considered for the role of Dorothy:

"Temple would have been terrible!"

If I remember right. When the Judy Garland mini series came out on ABC, they had a scene mentioning that Temple couldn't do the movie because of the studio or maybe it was because she had freckles.
