Quoted at 5:01 in this Screen Actor's Guild presentation from 2006:
Shirley Temple died last night at the age of 85, and here's my longer tribute to her from this morning. I just wanted to put that up too. It's full of incredibly charming things.

Temple and her parents traveled to Washington, D.C., late in 1935 to meet President Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor. The presidential couple invited the Temple family to a cook-out at their home in Hyde Park, New York, where Eleanor, bending over an outdoor grill, was hit smartly in the rear with a pebble from the slingshot Temple carried everywhere in her little lace purse (Edwards 81).

Well, at least someone was tappin' that ass.
What a charming lady!
Hollywood showed a little class and didn't allow Woody Allen to present the award despite his repeated requests.
She seems like she was a wonderful person on and off the screen. She'll be missed.
So now that she's gone, we're all screwed!?!
A Life Well Lived!
We should all have conducted ourselves so well when then final bell rings.
Via con dios, young lady.
Shirley openly loved the audience and they loved her right back. No hesitation from either side.
That kind of a woman has no glass or any other kind of ceiling holding them back, unless the envy of others who haven't their talents.
I have known two women like Shirley. They are the real thing and they work themselves continually to give of their talent to others.
Not so many comments. She outlived most of her fans. We should all be so lucky.
