absolutley wonderful
22 Nov 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
the book itself may be a little long but it was still a great read. mrs. temple is a fascinating woman and she tells some very amusing stories about her movie career and people she has met,for example, marlene deitrich and her daughter maria riva came onto the set and maria said she was only to be photographed on the one side, she was told by her mother and shirley pointed out there was nothing wrong with the other side and marlene rushed off in a huff. i would reccomend this book to silver screen fans. its classic and amusing.

A very interesting read
9 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
Shirley Temple was clearly a genius; she was obviously a very precocious and talented child. Her book about her young life is riveting - I cannot believe the details she clearly remembers.
I felt so sorry for her as I read on...her parents basically stole all the money she made so that they could live the high life. But you can see what type of person she is when you read of how she forgives her parents. Very touching. A very interesting book; it was hard to put down.

"Book Sets Facts Straight"
16 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
This fine, well written book by Ms.Black sets the facts of her life straight, and reveals the truth of her life as it was lived by her. For example, other books state that her mother tried and tried to get her into the "Little Rascals/Our Gang" comedy shorts produced at the Hal Roach Studios. Shirley states that she recalls no such ploy on her mother's part. Usually, the best books about famous folk, especially movie stars, are those written either by the star themselves ("Child Star", by Shirley Temple Black, "Shelly", and "Shelly 2" by Shelly Winters)or by members of that person's family, such as the books on Sinatra written his daughters Tina and Nancy (I'm still waiting for one by Frank Jr.) for, they're penned by those who lived the life being written about, or by those who lived with the one who's story they're writing.
