i have no idea who first showed me a Shirley Temple movie, but it is by far one of my favorite childhood traditions/memories.
i remember on christmas every year being so excited when my parents (or santa) got me a new Shirley Temple movie. i have quite the collection, all on VHS ha. There are still a lot i haven't seen yet though, which i'm dying to see!
and yes, i do know most of the songs from her movies- no shame.
i was looking for something to put on for baby to watch so i can work, and came across Bright Eyes on HBO! holy moly it took me back, and its in black & white too! so cool. baby climbed up on the couch and sat there watching silently with her cheerios in hand, before any singing even started. i would love for her to love these movies, i know i did. i'll have to get some to play for her when she is a little older.
in the mean time, i found out (thanks google) Shirley Temple actually wrote an autobiography! i know what i'm spending my birthday money on... ;)
