When I was a little girl everyone used to tell my mom that I was going to be the next Shirley Temple. I think it was because of all my curls, or maybe it was because I was singing and dancing everywhere I went…all the time. I grew up watching The Little Princess over and over again every chance I got (that and every other Shirley Temple movie my mom bought me over the years). I loved them. I began hoping that I really could be just like her. Today, I still love watching those Shirley Temple movies. Every time they come on television I stop and watch. This point has no point – other than that today is her birthday, and it got me feeling nostalgic for a good old movie.
