Shirley Temple Was Hardcore

On her TV Show "Shirley Temple's Storybook," when a stagehand said "shit" during a "Mother Goose" rehearsal, Temple had him fired, telling the stunned cast it was a children's show–although no children were present during the rehearsal, and that profanity has no place on a children's show

Woman- child or hiding something else

She's been known to cut a bitch in dimly lit parking lots.

Then how did she explain the movie title ‘Wee Willie Winkie’?

She was known as the Temple of Doom.

I highly doubt she had that sort of authority, for real, but I can imagine she never saw that stagehands face again! Lol. She was a force to be reckoned with. Wicked dancer! But my all-time favorite is Gene Kelly! The man was an acrobat!

Willie’s Winkie was wee, r4.

There is no excuse for profanity regardless of who is present.

That particular four-letter word belongs in a toilet.

OP, it was a very different time. Most people did not use profane language of any kind in the workplace or with family. It was considered low class and offensive.

She had a pretty slutty childhood, she shouldn't judge...

Did she do anal?

More like did she ever bother doing vaginal?

I had to re-read that, I initially though it said "when a stage hand shit during a Mother Goose rehearsal"

She once ruined Buddy Ebsen's credit rating.

He knows why.

Oh, wait, that was me!

Her first husband, John Agar, beat the shit out of her.

Shirley Temple doing anal is not a holiday image I needed

I don't doubt it because she was revered by the public, her films were credited with helping the country get through the Depression. No executive would risk the fallout of angering her, because if she went public, the public would totally have sided with her against an executive or stagehand.

This scene with her tapdancing with Buddy Ebsen explains why she was such a star.

Her sugary voice was so annoying it makes you want to blow out your eardrums, but no one can deny she was a brilliant child dancer.

One of my favorite facts about her life: when she was nine years old in 1937, she appeared in Wee Willie Winkle, which Graham Greene reviewed for a British magazine he co-edited called Night and Day. He said she possessed "a dubious coquetry" which appealed to "middle-aged men and clergymen," and for that 20th-Century Fox successfully sued him for £3400, plus costs, on her behalf.

It was a horrible thing to do to him (since he was more or less just being honest); but it at least inspired him to go to Mexico during the trial to avoid publicity, and there he got the idea to write The Power and the Glory (his masterpiece). but even better, it prompted him and all his literary friends to write in their letters and diaries about him being sued by "that bitch Shirley Temple," which reads somewhat hilariously today.

Who did she think she was, Loretta Young?

Do you think she ever did any of her routines for that country she was ambassador to like when they do those programs to spread American culture at the embassies?

She was Ambassador to Czechoslovakia under Reagan and was pretty good at it. She had brains, give her that. Her son, regrettably, was a major tool for the Republicans. So many stories about him in DC. He's closely connected with Roger Stone and Paul Manafort: they owned a PR firm in DC together.

I just read that she started smoking in her teens but kept it hidden so as not to set a bad example. So she can do bad things as long as the kiddies aren't around and that's okay, but not some poor crew member. Nobody's perfect, Shirley...

by Anonymousreply 32November 27, 2019 3:56 AM

She probably didn't openly smoke on the set of her children's show, r32.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. There are literally dozens of outtakes of scenes from 30s-40s films, and “shit” is said liberally by one and all. It was the favorite expletive when someone screwed up a take.

Just imagine if she were our current ambassador to Ukraine!

During her live performance of "Shirley Temple's Donkey Show," when a stagehand said "mierda" during a rehearsal, Temple had him fired, telling the stunned cast it was a donkey show–although no donkeys were present during the rehearsal, and that profanity has no place on a donkey show

YOU SHOULDA HEARD WHAT SHE CALLED ME BACKSTAGE!!

Meanwhile, Shirley continued to give blowjobs to one and all in her dressing room. She said of the offending crew member, “I’ll bet he misses THESE perks!”
