Despite her many associations, Ms Temple does not fall into the trap of a story told in the guess who I know and you don’t format. Too classy for that. Yet, a life so interesting, I argue, someone else should have written this book. It would have been more revealing and honest. She is both protected and self protective. The constant risks to her person suggest why.
It is in our nature to look at life’s tragedies and brighten them to the point of saying how one wasn’t affected. I feel, though, a neutral author wouldn’t have glossed over her rape as an adult actor in a train car on the way to a shoot. She excuses her father for bad fortunes and her mother for bad scripts. She hints at color blindness but I doubt she made friends among the brown and gay actors of the times. She led a culturally sheltered life, at times acknowledging how she was overprotected, so maybe that is in part the cause. But kudos to her for her foreign service, at best a thankless for role, at worst an inconsequential one.
Between the lines, beneath the surface lies an injured soul who made the best of the happiness available to her. And not too late, a la Brittany Spears, staking her claim on her own fortune, a happy marriage, a stable household. That is as much a life lesson as stardom. A career mother/woman ahead of her time.
As an aside, a trained writer would have avoided her penchant for SAT words. They stick out like sore thumbs amidst her text, add little to the store other than to suggest she was a tad bit self conscious about her educational attainment. A life well loved offers as much merit as a life book-spent. A good editor would have won that argument.
I enjoyed learning more about life behind the scenes of this fantastically experienced talented actor. She is an American treasure, after all, and time has been kind to her accomplishments. I can no more imagine a child’s life without Shirley Temple Black’s films as I can without the books a Beatrix Potter. She validated the lives, experiences, and emotions of small children for us all, sensitizing us to the relevance of kindness in childhood.… (altro)
