Bright Eyes, Curly Hair: Shirley Temple
It seems strange now, but there was a time when, even in her pinafores and frocks, an outcry of 'oversexualizing' the child was a huge controversy.
Her influence continues even to this day, and the performance standards she set have yet to be equaled by any other child star.

Once You've Seen Them, You'll NEVER Forget Them
Mr. Bojangles & Shirley Tapdancing!
Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson was born in 1878 and was what he called 'a hoofer' from a very young age. His name at birth wasn't even Bill, but Luther! He hated it so much, however, that he forced his younger brother Bill to give up his name!The incredible stair dance he did with Shirley originated "The publicity that gradually came to surround him included the creation of his famous "stair dance" (which he claimed to have invented on the spur of the moment when he was receiving some honor--he could never remember exactly what-- from the King of England. The King was standing at the top of a flight of stairs, and Bojangles' feet just danced up to be honored)" Bill Robinson

- Wonderful lens, wonderful actress! 5 stars, lensroll to my Maureen O'Hara lens, favorite and fan. Today is a red-letter day for me and I just have to tell the world! My Staycation lens is ranked #4 in Arts & Literature. Please come see if you like it. I need a tender boost to get to #1.
