Arthur Freed: pedophile?

Her = Shirley Temple.

Fortunately, it was past the age she needed to take a part in a mouth for a part in a movie -- and before the age she had to again.

I never heard this. That's horrible!

And, being innocent of the male anatomy, Shirley laughed at him. And this, boys and girls, is why there are no big-budget MGM musicals starring Shirley Temple.

R4: Shirley didn't work at MGM. That is why they couldn't get her for The Wizard of Oz and had to settle for Judy Garland.

Meanwhile, Shirley had to settle for [italic]The Blue Bird[/italic] at Fox.

After she left Fox in 1940, Shirley signed with MGM. She was intended to do BABES ON BROADWAY with Garland and Rooney (she would have the smaller part ultimately played by Virginia Wiedler) and a movie with wallace Beery, but she was tossed into the B-movie "Kathleen". She left MGM right after that.

Laughing @ R5. "Settle" for Judy Garland?

And hence was born the moniker "The Freed Unit."

oh that's good R9! Wish I'd said that!!!

R9 Actually it was called "The Freed Peanut." That's why Shirley laughed.

I like to think I played a significant role in the rapid growth and expansion of The Freed Unit!

Yolanda and The Thief is playing on TCM right now. I googled him and this disturbing anecdote popped up.

That's why Lena Horne didn't get the role of Julie in "Show Boat". He asked her to come kiss his cotton blossom, and she showed him her boot.

Why do men expose themselves? Women don't do that!

He took ,,, it .. out.

If he did that to someone of her stature, imagine what he would do with a random starlet. Lucille Bremer got away from him and had a happy life with her husband and children.

Who’s had a flasher or car wanker?

As a kid, there was this pedo who parked right outside the fenced school yard, wanking away.

We had no idea what it was when we saw him having a vehicular stroke.

This fat kid, whom I loved because he has a heart of gold, had to actually explain it to us.

Truthfully, I had no concept of it, even after the explanation. I actually did believe that two adults pecked each other on the mouth, and then a stork flew over their home, literally dropping a newborn from the clutches.

I was literally aghast and shocked when I finally cracked open an anatomy book.

I predict that within 10 years or less, there will be an actual prescription developed for the treatment of real and medically authenticated pedophilia. At the very least, there will be the ability to rewire circuitry via implants, like they can with certain patients afflicted with specific types of Parkinson’s.
