RIP Shirley.

When my late wife was a curly-haired little girl in a small town in Kansas in the early 1940s, she got big props singing

"S-H-I-N-E" a la Shirley at the local Elks club. There is photographic evidence of this. From abbreviated latter-day renditions she could be coaxed into, I gather she was quite good.

I had a caller here at the library who asked "Was Shirley temple really a big star/famous?" And no, she wasn't too too young to know, she'd just somehow missed the biggest box office star of her time...
