CHILDSTAR: THE SHIRLEY TEMPLE STORY

Made an impression on them, especially scenes about Bojangles and Amelia Earhart. "We learned that things were different then." "People used her like a piece of property, buying and selling her." Liked the music and dancing. "She danced with spirit."

Entertaining, historical references, strong female characters. Sensitive portrayal of racism: When Shirley dances on-screen with black tap dancer Bojangles, the producer states that it can be struck from showings in the South.

Tells the true life story of the most successful child star ever known. But even with her talent, money and charisma, Shirley's charmed life had a down side too.
