Topaz Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 The little actress we all watched, died and she will be one of those actresses that will be remembered. I think I've seen all of her movies as a little girl and the ones she made as an adult. Hollywood is/has lost its more precious actors ever acted and I'm not sure who's left from the great era of movies. RIP Shirley. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26135627 Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Shirley Temple was a huge star in the 1930's, and part of Hollywood's first "interracial couple". Shirley is (arguably) the most popular child star in U.S. entertainment history. She even has a drink named after her. My favorite scene with Bill Robinson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjCFYpWDmfM Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
August1991 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 She had a good, long life. Her death was not tragic. Born in 1928, she died in 2014. She had some 80 years to kick the can. So, let me be partisan. Despite being a child star, Shirley Temple didn't do drugs or get screwed up later. She had a "good" life. And she voted Republican. Kids: Draw the conclusion. Quote
guyser Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 August, you forgot to add " as far as we know" Hollywood controlled the press extremely well in those days and if they didnt want the public to know, then the public didnt know. Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 It's probably appropriate to also point out that republican child stars Candace Cameron offered a “Bible-based” opinion that women should submit to their stronger, more logical, and downright superior husbands and cater to their every demand meekly and unquestioningly. Her brother Kirk, (also a republican child star, felt that gay weddings at the 2014 Grammy Awards show were an "assault on the traditional family“ despite the continued existence of same-sex couples with children, Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

Topaz Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 I think its safe to say that Temple was a human being before she was a republican and I wish we could keep politics out of every topic. Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 She was a great child star and I loved all her movies. I don't think any fan of Shirley Temple's cares whether she was a republican or not. I didn't bring that up. August did. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 You had a case? I didn't see a case. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
WestCoastRunner Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 I rest my case. What was your case and how did it relate to my post? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
bleeding heart Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 There was no case, and it didn't relate to your post. That far more entertainers and artists currently appear to lean more left than right, politically, and that doubtless a few of them are happy, decent and stable folk, is not an argument for voting in a liberal direction. In my opinion. August thinks that it does mean this...and yet strangely seems unaware that he thinks this.

kimmy Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 Despite being a child star, Shirley Temple didn't do drugs or get screwed up later. She had a "good" life. And she voted Republican. Kids: Draw the conclusion. Ed Asner is a Democrat who has had a long, healthy, successful life. Kids: draw a conclusion. Ted Nugent has been in legal trouble for having sex with under-age women, and he literally crapped his pants to convince the draft board that he wasn't fit to serve in the military. And he votes Republican. Kids: draw a conclusion. Seriously, August, what conclusion do you expect people to draw from one random data-point in a sea of millions of data points? I thought you were a mathematician. I think its safe to say that Temple was a human being before she was a republican and I wish we could keep politics out of every topic. That is very well said. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

I thought you were a mathematician. I don't think he is. He's been writing lately that Math is a language of universal truth about the universe. Not true.

bleeding heart Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 One might reasonably argue that there aren't any "token leftists" in the liberal-left haven that is the arts and entertainment industries. Hell, the disproportionate leftism is one of the political right's chief complaints about Hollywood et al. (A rather misplaced complaint, mind, for reasons I can get into in another thread if anybody's innerested.)

kimmy Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 Was Ed Asner a child star? I thought that he was the old bald angry white-guy token leftist. Oh, I see. You're reducing the data-set to "former child stars". So, uh, what conclusion did you want the "kids" to draw from Shirley Temple's voting preferences? Since I wasn't a child star either, maybe I shouldn't care what conclusions might be drawn from a data set that's been limited to former child stars. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
bleeding heart Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 If one plans to become a former child star....you'd best vote....Republican! Can that really have been the message to "the kids" here? How bizarre. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington. All we had was Afghanistan to wave. On every other file we were offside.
