Her 1988 autobiography, "Child Star," became a best-seller.



Temple had married Army Air Corps private John Agar, the brother of a classmate at Westlake, her exclusive L.A. girls' school, in 1945. He took up acting and the pair appeared together in two films, "Fort Apache" and "Adventure in Baltimore." She and Agar had a daughter, Susan, in 1948, but she filed for divorce the following year.



She married Black in 1950, and they had two more children, Lori and Charles. That marriage lasted until his death in 2005 at age 86.

Among her later films were "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer," with Cary Grant, and "That Hagen Girl," with Ronald Reagan. Several, including the wartime drama "Since You Went Away," were produced by David O. Selznick. One, "Fort Apache," was directed by John Ford, who had also directed her "Wee Willie Winkie" years earlier.

Her 1942 film, "Miss Annie Rooney," included her first on-screen kiss, bestowed by another maturing child star, Dickie Moore.

After her film career effectively ended, she concentrated on raising her family and turned to television to host and act in 16 specials called "Shirley Temple's Storybook" on ABC. In 1960, she joined NBC and aired "The Shirley Temple Show."

Her young life was free of the scandals that plagued so many other child stars â€" parental feuds, drug and alcohol addiction â€" but Temple at times hinted at a childhood she may have missed out on.

She stopped believing in Santa Claus at age 6, she once said, when "Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."

After her years at the top, maintaining that level of stardom proved difficult for her and her producers. The proposal to have her play Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" didn't pan out. (20th Century Fox chief Darryl Zanuck refused to lend out his greatest asset.) And "The Little Princess" in 1939 and "The Blue Bird" in 1940 didn't draw big crowds, prompting Fox to let Temple go.

"Politicians are actors too, don't you think?" she once said. "Usually if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics."

Born in Santa Monica to an accountant and his wife, Temple was little more than 3 years old when she made her film debut in 1932 in the Baby Burlesks, a series of short films in which tiny performers parodied grown-up movies, sometimes with risque results.

Among the shorts were "War Babies," a parody of "What Price Glory," and "Polly Tix in Washington," with Shirley in the title role.

She made an unsuccessful bid as a Republican candidate for Congress in 1967. After Richard Nixon became president in 1969, he appointed her as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. In the 1970s, she was U.S. ambassador to Ghana and later U.S. chief of protocol.



She then served as ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the administration of the first President Bush. A few months after she arrived in Prague in mid-1989, communist rule was overthrown in Czechoslovakia as the Iron Curtain collapsed across Eastern Europe.

"My main job (initially) was human rights, trying to keep people like future President Vaclav Havel out of jail," she said in a 1999 Associated Press interview. Within months, she was accompanying Havel, the former dissident playwright, when he came to Washington as his country's new president.

She considered her background in entertainment an asset to her political career.

so there it goes... the usual wisdom of moderation.

On her eighth birthday â€" she actually was turning 9, but the studio wanted her to be younger â€" Temple received more than 135,000 presents from around the world, according to "The Films of Shirley Temple," a 1978 book by Robert Windeler. The gifts included a baby kangaroo from Australia and a prize Jersey calf from schoolchildren in Oregon.

"She's indelible in the history of America because she appeared at a time of great social need, and people took her to their hearts," the late Roddy McDowall, a fellow child star and friend, once said.

Although by the early 1960s, she was retired from the entertainment industry, her interest in politics soon brought her back into the spotlight.

She won a special Academy Award in early 1935 for her "outstanding contribution to screen entertainment" in the previous year.

"She is a legacy of a different time in motion pictures. She caught the imagination of the entire country in a way that no one had before," actor Martin Landau said when the two were honored at the Academy Awards in 1998.

Temple's fans agreed. Her fans seemed interested in every last golden curl on her head: It was once guessed that she had more than 50. Her mother was said to have done her hair in pin curls for each movie, with every hairstyle having exactly 56 curls.

She teamed with the great black dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in two 1935 films with Civil War themes, "The Little Colonel" and "The Littlest Rebel." Their tap dance up the steps in "The Little Colonel" (at a time when interracial teamings were unheard-of in Hollywood) became a landmark in the history of film dance.

Some of her pictures were remakes of silent films, such as "Captain January," in which she recreated the role originally played by the silent star Baby Peggy Montgomery in 1924. "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," done a generation earlier by Mary Pickford, were heavily rewritten for Temple, with show biz added to the plots to give her opportunities to sing.

In its review of "Rebecca," the show business publication Variety complained that a "more fitting title would be 'Rebecca of Radio City.'"

Temple became a nationwide sensation. Mothers dressed their little girls like her, and a line of dolls was launched that are now highly sought-after collectables. Her immense popularity prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to say that "as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right."

"When the spirit of the people is lower than at any other time during this Depression, it is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles," Roosevelt said.

She followed up in the next few years with a string of hit films, most with sentimental themes and musical subplots. She often played an orphan, as in "Curly Top," where she introduced the hit "Animal Crackers in My Soup," and "Stowaway," in which she was befriended by Robert Young, later of "Father Knows Best" fame.

Also in 1934, she starred in "Little Miss Marker," a comedy-drama based on a story by Damon Runyon that showcased her acting talent. In "Bright Eyes," Temple introduced "On the Good Ship Lollipop" and did battle with a charmingly bratty Jane Withers, launching Withers as a major child star, too.

She was "just absolutely marvelous, greatest in the world," director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book "Who the Devil Made It: Conversations With Legendary Film Directors." ''With Shirley, you'd just tell her once and she'd remember the rest of her life," said Dwan, who directed "Heidi" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." ''Whatever it was she was supposed to do â€" she'd do it. ... And if one of the actors got stuck, she'd tell him what his line was â€" she knew it better than he did."

Temple's mother, Gertrude, worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by fame and was a constant presence during filming. Her daughter said years later that her mother had been furious when a director once sent her off on an errand and then got the child to cry for a scene by frightening her. "She never again left me alone on a set," she said.


Shirley Temple and her mother

"I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award. Start early," she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild.

But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother. "There's nothing like real love. Nothing." Her husband of more than 50 years, Charles Black, had died just a few months earlier.

They lived for many years in the San Francisco suburb of Woodside.

Temple's expert singing and tap dancing in the 1934 feature "Stand Up and Cheer!" first gained her wide notice. The number she performed with future Oscar winner James Dunn, "Baby Take a Bow," became the title of one of her first starring features later that year.

In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the top 50 screen legends ranked Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses. She appeared in scores of movies and kept children singing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" for generations.

Temple was credited with helping save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy with films such as "Curly Top" and "The Littlest Rebel." She even had a drink named after her, an appropriately sweet and innocent cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.

Temple blossomed into a pretty young woman, but audiences lost interest, and she retired from films at 21. She raised a family and later became active in politics and held several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the historic collapse of communism in 1989.


U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia Shirley Temple Black talks with MAJ Carolyn May, the European Command representative for the Defense Department's Office of Humanitarian Affairs. 1990

"We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife for fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black," a family statement said.

A talented and ultra-adorable entertainer, Shirley Temple was America's top box-office draw from 1935 to 1938, a record no other child star has come near. She beat out such grown-ups as Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Robert Taylor, Gary Cooper and Joan Crawford.

Shirley Temple, iconic child star, dies at 85

11 February 2014



SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â€" Shirley Temple, the dimpled, curly-haired child star who sang, danced, sobbed and grinned her way into the hearts of Depression-era moviegoers, has died, according to publicist Cheryl Kagan. She was 85.

Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died Monday night at about 11 p.m. at her home near San Francisco. She was surrounded by family members and caregivers, Kagan said.

the gender of the senator is quite obvious from this anonymous letter.  from 1992 to 2001, at one time or other, the following ladies were senators:

Leticia Ramos Shahani
Anna Dominique M.L. Coseteng
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
Santanina T. Rasul
Miriam Defensor Santiago
Teresa Aquino-Oreta
Loren Legarda

what college courses did these ladies graduate from?  out of curiosity (and perhaps to try to pin down who this anonymous letter-writer is referring to)...

Leticia Ramos Shahani - Bachelor of Arts in English Literature (Wellesley College in Massachusetts), Master's degree in Comparative Literature (Columbia University in New York), Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo - 2-year Foreign Service study (Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service in Washington, D.C.), Bachelor of Arts in Economics (Assumption College, Manila), Master's Degree in Economics (Ateneo de Manila University), Doctorate in Economics (University of the Philippines Diliman)

Santanina T. Rasul - Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (University of the Philippines, Diliman), Masters in National Security Administration (National Defense College of the Philippines), Doctorate in Public Administration (University of the Philippines' National College of Public Administration and Governance)

Miriam Defensor Santiago - Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (University of the Philippines, Iloilo), Bachelor of Laws (University of the Philippines, Diliman),  Master of Laws (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

Teresa Aquino-Oreta - Bachelor of Arts in Literature and History (Assumption College, Manila), Bachelor in International Studies (Ciudad Ducal, Avila, Spain), Masters in National Security Administration (National Defense College of the Philippines)

Loren Legarda -  Bachelor in Broadcast Communications (University of the Philippines, Diliman), special studies towards Professional Designation in Journalism (University of California, Los Angeles), Masters in National Security Administration (National Defense College of the Philippines)

it turns out that it's former senator Anna Dominique M.L. Coseteng who does not hold a college degree.



She did not finish college “because I didn’t find it right that I had to go through all those things required just to get a diploma on my wall. What do I need all this math? I know I’m not good at it or algebra, why do I need to go through that?And why must school be excruciating? Why can’t school be fun? You only want to learn, why do you get punished for making mistakes and then they tell you in this world to try and try and do it over and over until you get it right.” (http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/index.php/en/features/marketing/1241-nikki-coseteng-from-legislator-to-educator)

She bought condos and townhouses as her “extension offices” â€" and had the Senate pay the monthly amortizations. Really good in business, huh. Once she flew to Lanao on the eve of election and poured money on the voters. She took commissions from all her big projects. One contractor named Manny once requested that I tell Boss that her new house was ready, so he needed the SARO (special allotment release order) from the Dept. of Budget and Management). I learned then that contractors and suppliers, upon receipt of SAROs, would remit 30-percent kickbacks, called “S.O.P.,” “rebate,” or “commission.”

so this monstrous species had been around that long.  no wonder the philippines remains poor in terms of infrastructures.

just so we may know, and to never let this happen again.

I can’t recall all her misdeeds and affairs with married politicos. Her family couldn’t stand it. Enriching herself in office, she was able to redeem her mortgaged mansion â€" and buy even more houses in Baguio, Cavite, Quezon City, three condos in Pasig, and five in Pasay, plus luxury vehicles and jewelries.

I wonder why soldiers idolize two other senators. They pocket the millions that they promised to pitch to foundations from pork barrels. One of them and his executive assistant pocketed so much that they were able to buy houses, vehicles, and Hong Kong vacations for their wives and mistresses. When the wife found out about the girlfriend, she took over selecting all the project contractors.

That’s what I learned in the Senate: outwardly they’re different, but inside, man or woman, they’re all the same. I have eight more senators to tell you about, especially the ones to whom I personally delivered money.

Sincerely,

Jason

One time I was going through our monthly expenses when I read the entries “detergent powder” and “laundry bars”. I asked the chief of staff about it, and he told me to hush up because “it’s for Madam’s house.” I later found out that her maids and drivers were in our Senate payroll; meaning, they drew monthly salaries and quarterly bonuses from the government. But they admitted to me meager wages that didn’t jibe with payroll entries; again meaning, Boss was pocketing the difference. She had a marketing group for a personal project also at Senate expense.

We were all from UST, UP or Ateneo, while she didn’t finish college.

She often threw house parties for mayors and governors, if she wasn’t elsewhere around the country partying. Our secretary would call Chinoy friends to donate pancit, kakanin, viands, pastries, wine (from Duty-Free), so almost all come free. Roasted calf came from Baby P. (of Pampanga). Boss once traveled to Australia, with Baby spending all fare and accommodations â€" yet she has the gall to say that Baby looks like a maid. Due to the frequency of her parties, her reluctant friends would complain to the secretary: “Wala na ba kayong mahihingan na iba?”

Dear Mr. Bondoc,

Let me start my story with persons I met in my first of 12 years in the Senate, as regular staff and project consultant. Keep my identity safe. Fresh from college I worked for an academic from (a region in Luzon), now deceased, good and smart. But I resigned because his chief of staff didn’t treat us equally.

I moved to another senator as action deputy, and so got to read all docs, inter-office memos, plans, programs, budgets, etc. We would travel around the country, attending fiestas, working till the wee hours, getting all the names and addresses of the townsfolk at the plaza for our database. They were sent Christmas cards, Valentine cards. We were not given allowances on those trips. We ate and slept in supporters’ houses or mayors’ resorts, and sometimes in cheap hotels. We rode government planes â€" we even had a Nomad for three days â€" all for free, of course.

Aide recounts ‘pork’ scams since ’90s (1)

GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc
The Philippine Star
February 10, 2014

Seven years ago I ran a three-part series on senators’ pork-barrel scams. A source, “Jason,” narrated his sordid tasks as aide and later consultant for several senators since the 1990s. It’s worth rerunning portions of the account, if only to stress that the problem has festered from then till today.

The senators are described, not identified. Who they were in 1992 to 2007 are listed in the link: http://www.senate.gov.ph/senators/senlist.asp. Full texts of the three Gotcha installments â€" 7, 9, and 11 May 2007â€" can be accessed in the archives below. More details on the pork barrel of the 1990s-2000s in my book, “Exposés: Investigative Reporting for Clean Government,” available at all National Bookstore and Powerbooks branches.

In another study, the "Southern" eating pattern, characterized by eating okra, grits, cornbread, beans, rice and sweet potatoes, was shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 40% in a group of American men, but interestingly a diet richer in fruit & vegetables did not reduce risk in that group. Bottom line: okra is a healthy food which is already widely consumed, and now latest research tells us it may give protection from at least three different cancers.



More research is needed to confirm this in humans but in the meantime, it may be a good choice to add okra to your regular diet, which should already contain a wide variety of vegetables - and plenty of them.

It's interesting that we are still discovering new anti-cancer compounds in common foods we eat on a regular basis. The research on okra for preventing cancer is just starting up, however another recent study has shown that okra pectin is active against highly metastatic melanoma cells (B16F10), reducing their proliferation, inducing cell cycle arrest and programmed cell death (apoptosis).

The okra extract was also shown to slow the growth of breast cancer cells by 63%.
