“I was so young, starting at age 3, that working seemed very normal. I thought everybody went to work.” - Shirley Temple.. watch “Judy Garland studios FORCED her to pop PlLLS & marry a closeted husband & more..” ua-cam.com/video/ZNLTwgqeZXg/v-deo.html
When I was a little girl, I saw Shirley Temple at an award show. I got up the nerve to approach her and ask for an autograph. Before I knew what was happening, security came out of everywhere. As they were trying to hustle me away from her, she told them to stop and that I was with her. After she got rid of them, she told me to walk with her to her seat. During our walk we had a lovely conversation. Once at her seat, she asked if I had a pen and then gave me the most beautiful autograph. That day, at The Black Film Makers Hall of Fame, Shirley Temple made a little black girl from Oakland California, blissfully happy. 💙

First Off Didn’t You See The Clips Of Her Playing A Prostitute On Screen Every Thing They Showed Was Past Inappropriate And The Most Disgusting Thing About Hollyweird
Thank you! I was highly disturbed by the title.. I think it’s very insensitive tbh. And the saddest thing is I truly like her content so it’s very disappointing seeing her use this tactic for views.
They don't. They are simply cashing in too. I'm living in a country where few years a go they trained middle class and even financially well teen and pre teens to procure others, befriend the "dear" (deer or bunny *rabbit masks photos lead to the wolf game*) and propose "work", the "hunter/wolf", "whale" or "shark" were paid in different untraceble methods. Some did for fun, some did for curiosity, some did because they were already in the "trade". You won't ever be free, because as soon you get in contact with your victim, all your online activities will be archived and used against you. They don't use adults anymore, only teens, but don't think that some adults have no part in this. They are paid to just look away... And I know for a fact that no one turn the blind eye if they can cash in, you really think that if an adult see and have proof he won't try to use this against the perpetrator? If the person is smart and have backups or share the knowledge with others, she can't simply disappear, the blood trail would be suspicious. "Accidents"? Yeah, they happen, but this "line of abuse" is too big and bring too much money, is easier to just pay and make the person shut up. And most accept and do. The one's who don't has to be really stupid to talk, if they do, they often won't find a person that will believe them, if they insist, they better be smart because soon enough they will be criminally accused of something horrible and the public won't believe them. I know how it works on 2 continents I lived... But I can imagine that they will do the same everywhere because it works. Don't be innocent this is a huge operation and is brutal.... Edit: I didn't use Whale loosely. Think few years back and you will remember the blue whale. The media said it was fake. It wasn't. That is the proof of how deep the hole is.
@@ytrewq12345 You've just shared very important information regarding the reality we live in and so far received just three likes. Who even knows exactly how many took the actual time or even care reading any of it and those that ignored and past on it. I would say that in today's world they just passed on it, because either they refuse to ever face reality, plain out don't care or only surfing around for gossip. This degeneracy has been going on for a very, very long time and disheartening to know that it's only going to continue.
@@nmHispana That's one of the reasons I often won't comment or talk about it. I played the game, I saw the videos, I can't unsee, I can't undo. But I can try to call out people that seems to care and give some breadcrumbs here and there, if you follow, you find. Most don't do, and I understand, but you would be traumatized if you knew how everything happens under people's nose... Is really insane. And just to survive you will develop some very sad and psycho like habits... And you need more than a though skin, you need to look around and not see humans anymore. You see a price, you see a pattern, you see a end, don't ever see a person or your going to become soft, and your conscience will scream... And you will end up in several... If you're lucky...
I remember when I was a little girl in the 90s (I was 6 or 7) and I was obsessed with all the Shirley Temple movies and thought she was so lucky to be famous. My grandma who grew up in the same generation(the silent generation) as Shirley Temple kept it real with me and said “things are not what they seem. Look at all these men gawking at her and fondling her. Everything that glitters isn’t gold.” That always stuck with me. I’m glad Shirley Temple was able to break away from the shackles of Hollywood.
Yeah when I was watching “Bright Eyes” I was stunned by the grown men touching her in her Good Ship Lollipop song. And that her dress was so short her undies were showing. It just all felt wrong. Something I missed when I was a child.
@@denisebacher5040 yep! That’s the one we were watching. Now as an adult I can’t even watch them because now it’s just blatantly obvious what she endured
Wow, your grandmother was really wise! "Everything that glitters isn't gold"! I'm going to remember that cause I never heard it put like that! That is a real eye opener comment! Thank you!
Even crazier when the girl is both a child and a dwarf, like with Natalia Grace. She finally got vindicated by a DNA test proving her age, years after her adoptive parents abused her and even a judge declared her adult against medical evidence. I'm not sure if her abuse had a sexual nature to it at any point, but the way she was treated put her at immense risk of that kind of abuse.
?? Shirley Temple raised children and also worked in government- she was never a child prostitute- ever. Her autobiography: "Child Star" says it all. This is an autobiography-not biography. It is a book by her📕
@@EstherHelenaSicard10sXOwhen you pay for sex, that person is a prostitute. She was a kid being sexually abused. That’s why they called her a child prostitute. Also Shirley talked about how her mother was being sexually abused too . One man would take her in the office and one man would take her mother. Either the adults was in on it or they were also getting got.
That in itself may have been survival with partial denial. To reflect, but not allow it to truly it hit hard as emotionally. Her mother just liked the money. My brother was badly abused and he’s the one who also was only rose colored glasses.
I saw a documentary about her and learned about the abuse she suffered but had no idea about the baby burlesque movies she did. These scenes you showed are seriously disturbing and sickening. This is their way of getting away with CP back then. How she turned out to be a normal adult is beyond me.
As the grandchild of an Old Hollywood child actor, there’s a reason my grandfather refused to let his own children be in movies or tv, even though producers begged for his little blond haired, blue eyed babies to be in them. He knew what it was like. He knew what it turned him into.
That was my initial thought as I read the title. The title should be changed to give her name the respect it deserves. She may have been used and abused but she was NOT a prostitute.
@@pCOCKPRO11 But the point is that is how she was portrayed. When u don't have an actual crime no one will be held accountable. I have to hold the people accountable for their actions. This is the history of Hollywood and they should be forced to face it.
I heard James Coburn make a gross comment, on a Shirley Temple special during the 1980s, about Shirley Temple's legs by saying that she had, "sexy little legs" which I thought was totally disgusting. To this day, I have never forgiven him for that comment and that was during the mid 1980s.

She was not only trafficked, but used through Hollywood media to support child trafficking. One song she sang as a youngster in a film was known to be sexualization, and supposedly no one did anything about it. It is amazing she made a real life for herself after going through that, God must have protected her somehow.
If God really protected her nothing bad would have happened to her. And God would have prevented her to go to Hollywood in the first place. Why did he let her go to Hollywood as a small child for all those years. And then protect her later? I see no logic in that all together. (conclusion of all that is pretty simple. it gives us two possibilities. but i will not write that down, let every person make up his own mind about it, and believe what you choose to believe).
@@petervermeer.4904 Romans 8:26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one-for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one-for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
@@petervermeer.4904 Some say Hollywood has many satanic occultists there and she may have been a victim of that, maybe both she and her mom. She survived it. Some seem to succumb to it like James Dean and others. It is difficult to say, maybe they apologized to her, or she just thought of them as sick and pathetic and just made her life as well as possible.
You are wrong, I’m sorry to say. The parents were not greedy and purposely stole her money. There were reasons this happened and her father was in shame for many years.
@@winkieblink7625 GOD: “Do not defile your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will be filled with prostitution and wickedness." Leviticus 19:29 (NLT)
I love all your videos Sis! ❤ But you forgot to mention that Shirley Temple was the first (& only for many years) to have an interracial hand holding scene. In The Little Colonel, when she dances up the stairs with Bill Robinson, she insisted on holding his hand. Being that it was 1935 and the world was still viscously ignorant, he wasn’t “allowed” to hold her hand, let alone on screen, but every time they did the scene she naturally took his hand. To the point of where the director said, “She’s just a kid, who cares?” & left it in. Now an iconic moment that speaks volumes about Shirley, especially in her adult life.
I’m loving this movie especially because they are together. In an interview she said Mobile auto that she could ride all around the set & have fun. She credits him for being supportive throughout her career; she said he was with her for most & special occasions like her birthdays & many movies……sounded like she felt close to him & grateful for his presence in her life. 😊
I love ur channel, I think it's horrible that she's titled as a 3 yr old prostitute. She was a victim. We don't call trafficked woman prostitutes, we call them victims, this title is just wrong Sis.
@@dasiareed2708 i was saying that the character in the series was a prostitute. They literally made her play a prostitute. I know kids can’t actually be prostitutes.
I bet Her mother was the one pimping her out. I've known of too many girls who have told their mum that stepdad was doing things to them, and mum sided with stepdad.
I have a 5 year old and can't imagine putting her thru that when I just want her safe and have a happy childhood and agreed Shirley did deserve better parents
@@Theintrovertednow Right? Her and Drew Barrymores mother I will never understand how you can be ok with handing your child over to pedophiles, the thought of it sends shiver down my spine.
@@Sofianova17Well maybe her child introvertednow does not have the extraordinary charisma and talent Shirley Temple had, besides which she loved what she was obviously born to do and was very happy with her lot.From her early age she loved to perform and knew she made people happy.Shirley's parents were very good loving protective parents. Probably a little in awe of the powerful very wealthy heads of the Studio but careful just the same.Shirley's skyrocketing to fame how everyone loved her must have made them very proud.She had an enviably close and loving relationship with her mother something not many have today.
Shirley Temple, the toddler/child star, was every pedophiles dream. She was the studio's owners dream, which is why they sexualized her as a child and didn't know what to do with the adult Shirley Temple by way of roles. It was in your face disgusting. No different than the later versions of the kiddie "beauty" pageants that cost JonBenèt Ramsey her life. They, too, were pedophiles heaven. Adults, in general, will do anything to make money to achieve fame and fortune even off of the backs of children. Being responsible seems to be a hard balancing act for some adults when it comes to child rearing. It's just unfortunate that Shirley Temple wasn't the only child that was put through the ringer. Luckily, she managed to survive and thrive. Very few do.
WELL SAID MY FRIEND *** JUST A BRAIN FART HERE *** PERHAPS THE REASONS THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE HER WITH MORE ROLES AS A YOUNG ADULT WAS BECAUSE THEY FEARED THAT SHE WOULD POTENTIALLY PUBLICLY VOICE OUT HER HOLLYWOOD TRAUMA'S *** DROPPING NAMES ALONG THE WAY *** OUR HEAVENLY FATHER TRULY BLESSED HER WITH THE ABILITY TO RISE ABOVE AND OVER COME ALL THE TRAUMA SHE HAD TO DEAL WITH THROUGH OUT HER YOUTH AND ADULTHOOD 🙏 REST IN PEACE SHIRLEY TEMPLE 🙏❣️🙏
This was sooooooooooooo uncomfortable and disgusting to watch/stomach. I never knew any of this and if i meet anyone who even hints they liked watching these films im gonna give them the side eye. The number of adults that turn a blind eye. How gross. Thanks for your amazing video!
As a black child Shirley Temple was by far my most favorite movie star. I loved her and watch all of movies. It is a testament to her beautiful soul and spirit that she survived the Hollywood experience to become beautiful woman and great contributor to society as an adult. May God Bless her Soul. Miss you Shirley.
Me too! My grandmother loved Shirley and would buy me all of her movies on VHS. I would watch them over and over because she was so fun to watch. Her spirit shone through all the roles. It’s so sad to hear what she went through, but I’m glad she made it out and didn’t let it change her.💙
Wow that's seriously disturbing what that sicko did locking his office and attempting to rape her . Ashanti spoke of this during an interview that some record exec asked her to take a shower with him ( yuck 🤮) and when she refused he charged her a heavy fee for music related marketing. It's not a business to get into when children or anyone really aren't protected.
Despite the exploitation that Shirley faced throughout her child she did not see herself as a victim and achieved many things. Its disheartening to skip from the death of her second husband in her forties to her death in her 80s. You didnt mention any of her accomplishments in adulthood other than marrying and having children. She was active in charities, helping people, and extremely committed to her involvement in politics. I believe she attempted to be first female senator in California. Her determination to not be just a retired childstar is admirable and deserves a mention.
@goodgirl170 No. Someone calling out blatant lies, myths, and falsehoods is not about that person's problem or their need to 'create their own channel.' The problem is content creators like this who do shoddy, lazy, and incompetent work, as shown in this video. People like you, who are apparently too lazy and misguided to do some actual research, will accept ANY info on yt and call it good because your ignorance is comfortable for you. Not everyone is comfortable with ignorance.
She has to limit the video at some time. It would be good if others continue the work this videographer began. I always wondered what she went through. I felt sorry for Temple when I watched some of her films. I just knew she had to be abused.😮
Great video. Also her staircase dane scene with Bill Robinson in the Little Colonel caused a huge backlash in the racist South. A white girl dancing with a "colored" actor in the 1930s was unprecedented. She talks about how proud she was of that movie and working with Bill Robinson.
Yeah, she called him Uncle Bill and he was actually one that tried to protect her on set of the movies they filmed because he knew what the other men said about her. A child SMH. When he noticed the guys were a little too close, he would call her over to rehearse some steps really quick. She would only learn the routines a few hours before shooting them so she wouldn't forget. But because Bill "Bojangles" was black, he wasn't able to help as much he wanted. They would "put him in his place" as a black man in those times.
I met her the night that she was honored at the Kennedy Center. She talked with me and my sisters for a good while, and she was super nice, with wonderful warm energy.💙
Thanks for covering this - Shirley married into my family and lived a very private life after fame. I never met her, but she was close with my great aunt and kept to herself mostly.
I believe it. In her autobiography, she said she wanted to leave Hollywood sooner, but her parents had spent all her money. In the 1960's she was retired and a mom. Also, you must be from a very elite family. They kicked her husband off the "400" list because he married someone in show business.
@@BLOXKAFELLARECORDSI know a few people who are distantly related to famous people such as Loraina Bobbet and Janis Joplin. I'm actually distantly related to Jesse James the famous outlaw. My grandmother was pen pals with his granddaughter Bernice😮
Child porn was so prevalent along with molestation. So many children have gone miss due to trafficking for so many centuries. I loved ShirleyTemple as well. I could never let my child do that especially at that age. ❤😢
As a little girl in the 1980’s my grandma used to watch Shirley Temple movies with me, I remember when the internet came out I looked her up & was wowed by her beauty, just a classic,naturally pretty lady. I am so glad she survived all she endured in Hollywood with a kind soul. May she rest in peace & love always ❤
What child actors mothers & film studios did was just horrific. Her first husband used her & referred to her as "his meal ticket ". Her second marriage was good & she later became an embassador. I always liked Shirley Temple. RIP 💙
WW are pick mes and Extremely Insecure because their Prettiness is limited and their attraction to Men is in them keeping the Youth and Naivety. Which they Can’t! Do remember that when you are complaining how hard it is to be BW! WE HAVE SO MUCH GOING FOR US! STOP WASTING IT ON BITTER PEOPLE!
As a child, I loved Shirley Temple movies. When I was a teen, I didn't understand why they typecasted her and would have loved seeing her in films as she grew up. But nowadays, I figure it was probably better that she left Hollywood. As for her mother, I remember an interview with Larry King where Shirley talk about an interview or cast she went to. She went to one room, and her mother was taken somewhere else. The producer revealed himself to Shirley, and she started to laugh. He got mad, and kicked her out. When she was reunited with her mother, during the car ride, she told her mother, "you wouldn't believe what happened to me" and her mother dismissed her and responded, "whatever you went through, I got worse". 😳
That's a typical reply from a toxic narcissistic mother. Mine sent me to live with a pedo knowing he was from ages 3 to 7 on and off (so she could stay with her alcoholic husband who beat us) and when I confronted her in my adult years about that she said the same thing to me that Shirley's mother said to her. Ironically my mother was named after Shirley Temple
I’m glad that she resisted sexual harassments coming from those “Hollywood” creeps as a growing child star. At last, she ended up marrying someone who came from nothing like her as well and had the opportunity to live a long life outside the screen. Career changes may save you from an unfortunate path!
At one point in 1935, Shirley Temple had 5 songs in the top 10 at one time.The only other artist to have 5 songs in the top 10 at once were the Beatles.
I'm 55. When I was a little girl, I idolized Shirley Temple. I was so excited when her movies would come on TV. It's really sad how she was treated when she herself gave us so much happiness, especially by those she should've been able to trust to keep her safe. I never knew of the adulterated movies she starred in. It's inexcusable to put a child in an adult's place and it's so sick how we're still doing this today. Even though Shirley had to endure this sick behavior, she turned out to be a very classy lady. She will always be my favorite star.
kimberklyfrazier yeah....impossible that she colkd be thought of like that (and BABY TAAKE A BOW...yikes...Mae West like() still love all of her work though.
I would be in jail, I'm so protective of my kids, they beg me not to confront situations or try to be calm when doing it because I can be vicious if I feel someone has hurt them
I always knew Hollywood was weird but this level of weirdness is mind boggling 😮she wasn’t protected by anyone including her parents! She was so beautiful and I can only hope she lived a happy life outside of Hollyweird Rip Shirley💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
At one time I worked with a kid who was forced by their parents to have sex with their sibling and their parents friends. It's way more common than people know. I would've never thought people would do such things.
Another disturbing thing I noticed about Shirley Temple is in her younger years you never seen her with normal children's teeth. The people she worked with put veneers on her little teeth.
A prostitute is someone that willingly goes out there and does what she does. That little girl had no choice and had no say, and had no one to protect her. She’s a victim, not a prostitute.
12 minutes in and I'm disgusted at what I'm seeing. Adults actually sat down and actually watched/promoted this filth? This is blatant exploitation, not entertainment. My heart goes out to EVERY child, whose been enticed into this and and the music industry. I've seen other documentaries on Shirley Temple, but this is by far the best. Thank you 💜🍃
I understand why J.K Rowling never wanted the Harry Potter saga goes to Hollywood and didn't want Steven Spielberg directing the franchise.... She really protected those kids.
@@bluerayhealingwithrain5190 I completely agree! Just like many other terms these days have, that term was stolen, twisted & sold by those wishing to push their own agenda or ideology but at the same time always having the added benefit of the original use of the term as a distant backup so that anyone who may criticise the hijacked meaning can be labelled some hate name - which is obviously why those terms are carefully selected based on the ignorance of those not privy to the true meaning while at the same time, robbing those for whom the term holds importance for. I guarantee the majority who use that term have zero notion as to the original/true meaning or importance behind it and would be horrified to know from where & whom it's been hijacked. I wish more people spoke up about it as it was happening (I know some did which is the only reason I know what you're even referring to) but as per usual it's a gradual transition and before you know it, the current/popular use has little to no resemblance to what it once meant. Alternatively terms which are derogatory are often repurposed in the same way which allows the term to survive. I'm assuming you're American(?) but an example from Ireland (where I'm from) would be 'Paddy' (used as a derogative) or 'beyond The Pale', which is hilarious to us when we hear Americans commonly use it but was originally used as a derogatory comment about the 'ignorant, uncivilised, savages' 👀😂 populating the uncultivated, barren land that were people of Ireland during British colonialism. 'The Pale' was County Dublin - the only civilised place in Ireland, populated by the only civilised people (the English) 😂. Hearing Americans order a 'Black and Tan' in a bar is another one that is highly offensive/hurtful to Irish people 🥴 (Ps Sorry for essay)
You know what's worse than the casting couch form of Hollywood? A mother forcing her daughter/sons legs open for the abuser. This isn't just hype it's the fact then and now.
You are an AMAZING documentarian! Wow! I am just stunned by all your awesome work! I LOVE learning from your videos and your voice is stunning! THANK YOU for telling all these true stories!!
After everything she's been through, she seems like a very humble person. When I was a little girl I used to love to watch her tap dance. Shirley was very talented.💙💙💙💐💐💐
Shirley was a beautiful and intelligent child. It was a milk bar....in that one film. Shirley once said in an interview, "The day I retired from acting, no one from the studio really said goodbye. As if it was just another day." I think she enjoyed being a mother and her life with her second husband away from Hollywood. I think what was best.
When I was 15, my mother set me up with a nineteen-year-old boy she worked with when she was 49. She did this so that she could drive him home and have date nights with us altogether. They ended up marrying. It did not end well for them. Still my last words to her were I love you Mommy. Kinda sad.
Thank you! Shirley Temple went through a lot that she shouldn’t have had to go through. She was wise to leave Hollywood and became a very famous and wise lady without Hollywood. I’m glad she had a good long marriage, she deserved peace and happiness on her own terms.🙏❤️
It’s heartbreaking what Shirley went through.😔 She was too good for Hollywood.🤍 My absolutely favorite feature of her beauty was her cheekbones and dimples.☺️
I believe she meant some of the inappropriate movies that portrayed her that way. I never knew such films existed. Really disgusting and her parents should never allowed that.
💙💙💙💙💙 Shirley was special... and it's sad to hear about all she went through... how evil people can be... yet she remained as sweet and positive as she always was. True Icon💕
She was simply adorable & so talented at her young age i used to love watching her movies. I realize now as an adult what that child went through it breaks my heart...may she rest now in happiness & love🙏💙
Honestly...the title "SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIM to UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR" should have been enough. Take the high road. A lot of survivors of child sexual abuse look UP to Shirley Temple Black. She was NEVER a prostitute, nor perceived as one...until NOW.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's loving old movies and the history of Hollywood. I knew all the old movie stars' names and all about their careers, and had seen most of their films. I knew very well who Shirley Temple was, but admittedly had never watched a complete movie she was in. I knew that all adults of the era loved this young child actress and her movies. Shockingly, when I finally actually saw a movie with the young Shirley Temple, I was creeped out, mortified and very confused. I didn't understand how adults could like these films or be okay with what she was wearing or how she was forced to behave. As a young girl who really knew nothing about sex, even I knew something was really wrong with what I was seeing. To this day, I don't understand how generations of adults, who supposedly loved Shirley Temple, and children in general, saw this as wholesome entertainment, and made the studios who produced those films profitable beyond their dreams by consuming that content with a fervor. I get that people always claim it was "a simpler time", but for me that doesn't really explain it. If I as an innocent 10 or 11 year old could sense there was something inappropriately sexual about this, how did no intelligent adult feel the same? I just don't get it. How did that all pass as okay even in the time those films were produced? If anyone has a theory, please respond to me because I'd love to hear it. I'm in my 60's now, and I still don't understand. Thank God that child went on to make a wonderful life for herself, but most exploited children are nowhere as lucky.
I'm 56 and I grew up watching her and I never knew all that we have been awakening to more and more sick and twisted things that have been there but ignored until now thank you for showing this bless her and you 💙💙
I loved watching old Shirley Temple movies growing up. Though I’m no where near her era, she still made an impact on my childhood. Rest in peace Shirley Temple💙!
nooo Shirley Temple 😭😭😭😭😭 im surprised she didnt go crazy shes really strong if i ever were to go through what shes been through ( God forbid ) i wouldve never got over it at all
This covered so many things I never knew, and I really appreciate you taking the time to focus on her good personal qualities and achievements and interests outside of the entertainment industry. May Shirley Rest in Paradise. 💙🕊
The Vatican 'cares' A LOT about children. SO many priests 'care' so much they get transfrered around the world to 'care' for children. I hope Shirley's life was really as happy as looked. 💙
I loved her when I was little. I was an 80’s baby. Because of her I always had Mary Janes, gloves, matching purses, curly locks… When I got older I did my research on her and it’s hard to believe that my childhood icon endured so much trauma! But she is a prime example that no matter what happens to you as a child you can grow up and still be a good person. Bless her beautiful heart. I don’t get how her own mother thought it was ok to let her daughter do some of those roles! She needed protection. Hollywood is phucking disgusting. I can only imagine what all those kids went through. I feel like it was even worse back then. I mean, what’s going on now is BAAAD but back then no one thought of children as actual people.
“I was so young, starting at age 3, that working seemed very normal. I thought everybody went to work.” - Shirley Temple.. watch “Judy Garland studios FORCED her to pop PlLLS & marry a closeted husband & more..”

Hi Karine. I think I heard u say she got married in 1994! Did u mean 44 or 54???
The devil controlled those people and they will burn 🔥 for it
When I was a little girl, I saw Shirley Temple at an award show. I got up the nerve to approach her and ask for an autograph. Before I knew what was happening, security came out of everywhere. As they were trying to hustle me away from her, she told them to stop and that I was with her. After she got rid of them, she told me to walk with her to her seat. During our walk we had a lovely conversation. Once at her seat, she asked if I had a pen and then gave me the most beautiful autograph. That day, at The Black Film Makers Hall of Fame, Shirley Temple made a little black girl from Oakland California, blissfully happy. 💙
Damn what are you …..like 95 now? How old was she?

A child or teen can never be a “prostitute.” They are “trafficked children/teens.”
Thank you! They put anything in the title for clicks
Yeah. The title is wild.
First Off Didn’t You See The Clips Of Her Playing A Prostitute On Screen Every Thing They Showed Was Past Inappropriate And The Most Disgusting Thing About Hollyweird
Thank you! I was highly disturbed by the title.. I think it’s very insensitive tbh. And the saddest thing is I truly like her content so it’s very disappointing seeing her use this tactic for views.
Facts
Ugh that baby burlesque was SO uncomfortable😟
What's creepy about child abuse cases is how many adults turn a blind eye.
Always!
They don't. They are simply cashing in too.
I'm living in a country where few years a go they trained middle class and even financially well teen and pre teens to procure others, befriend the "dear" (deer or bunny *rabbit masks photos lead to the wolf game*) and propose "work", the "hunter/wolf", "whale" or "shark" were paid in different untraceble methods. Some did for fun, some did for curiosity, some did because they were already in the "trade". You won't ever be free, because as soon you get in contact with your victim, all your online activities will be archived and used against you.
They don't use adults anymore, only teens, but don't think that some adults have no part in this. They are paid to just look away... And I know for a fact that no one turn the blind eye if they can cash in, you really think that if an adult see and have proof he won't try to use this against the perpetrator? If the person is smart and have backups or share the knowledge with others, she can't simply disappear, the blood trail would be suspicious.
"Accidents"? Yeah, they happen, but this "line of abuse" is too big and bring too much money, is easier to just pay and make the person shut up. And most accept and do. The one's who don't has to be really stupid to talk, if they do, they often won't find a person that will believe them, if they insist, they better be smart because soon enough they will be criminally accused of something horrible and the public won't believe them. I know how it works on 2 continents I lived... But I can imagine that they will do the same everywhere because it works.
Don't be innocent this is a huge operation and is brutal....
Edit: I didn't use Whale loosely. Think few years back and you will remember the blue whale. The media said it was fake. It wasn't. That is the proof of how deep the hole is.
@@ytrewq12345 You've just shared very important information regarding the reality we live in and so far received just three likes. Who even knows exactly how many took the actual time or even care reading any of it and those that ignored and past on it. I would say that in today's world they just passed on it, because either they refuse to ever face reality, plain out don't care or only surfing around for gossip. This degeneracy has been going on for a very, very long time and disheartening to know that it's only going to continue.
@@nmHispana That's one of the reasons I often won't comment or talk about it. I played the game, I saw the videos, I can't unsee, I can't undo. But I can try to call out people that seems to care and give some breadcrumbs here and there, if you follow, you find. Most don't do, and I understand, but you would be traumatized if you knew how everything happens under people's nose... Is really insane. And just to survive you will develop some very sad and psycho like habits... And you need more than a though skin, you need to look around and not see humans anymore. You see a price, you see a pattern, you see a end, don't ever see a person or your going to become soft, and your conscience will scream... And you will end up in several... If you're lucky...
Especially parents
I remember when I was a little girl in the 90s (I was 6 or 7) and I was obsessed with all the Shirley Temple movies and thought she was so lucky to be famous. My grandma who grew up in the same generation(the silent generation) as Shirley Temple kept it real with me and said “things are not what they seem. Look at all these men gawking at her and fondling her. Everything that glitters isn’t gold.” That always stuck with me. I’m glad Shirley Temple was able to break away from the shackles of Hollywood.
Yeah when I was watching “Bright Eyes” I was stunned by the grown men touching her in her Good Ship Lollipop song. And that her dress was so short her undies were showing. It just all felt wrong. Something I missed when I was a child.
@@denisebacher5040 yep! That’s the one we were watching. Now as an adult I can’t even watch them because now it’s just blatantly obvious what she endured
@@jessicascreenwritingservicesYour grandmother was a very wise woman
Good shop lollipop 😢
Wow, your grandmother was really wise! "Everything that glitters isn't gold"! I'm going to remember that cause I never heard it put like that! That is a real eye opener comment! Thank you!
They knew she wasn’t a dwarf, the predators made that up to excuse their behavior and inappropriate behaviors towards a child
You could see in that child’s face that she was a kid. Even in dwarfism you can clearly tell the difference between child and adult. Sickening.
Even crazier when the girl is both a child and a dwarf, like with Natalia Grace. She finally got vindicated by a DNA test proving her age, years after her adoptive parents abused her and even a judge declared her adult against medical evidence. I'm not sure if her abuse had a sexual nature to it at any point, but the way she was treated put her at immense risk of that kind of abuse.
exactly
Should read about the dwarfs on Wizard of Oz ass-grabbing JG
do you have kids?? toddlers are small facts reality
The fact that the adults let all this abuse happen is disgusting
??
Shirley Temple raised children and also worked in government- she was never a child prostitute- ever. Her autobiography: "Child Star" says it all. This is an autobiography-not biography. It is a book by her📕
Very disgusting 😢
@@EstherHelenaSicard10sXOwhen you pay for sex, that person is a prostitute. She was a kid being sexually abused. That’s why they called her a child prostitute. Also Shirley talked about how her mother was being sexually abused too . One man would take her in the office and one man would take her mother. Either the adults was in on it or they were also getting got.

For all that happened to her, it's a miracle she came out of it with a good attitude and spirit.
That in itself may have been survival with partial denial. To reflect, but not allow it to truly it hit hard as emotionally. Her mother just liked the money. My brother was badly abused and he’s the one who also was only rose colored glasses.
@@MermaidWithABearHeartTrue, denial can keep you sane sometimes.
I saw a documentary about her and learned about the abuse she suffered but had no idea about the baby burlesque movies she did. These scenes you showed are seriously disturbing and sickening. This is their way of getting away with CP back then. How she turned out to be a normal adult is beyond me.
With such grace
Just like brooke shields both turned out relatively normal from a public perception who really knows what goes on behind the curtains
As the grandchild of an Old Hollywood child actor, there’s a reason my grandfather refused to let his own children be in movies or tv, even though producers begged for his little blond haired, blue eyed babies to be in them. He knew what it was like. He knew what it turned him into.
I’m glad he protected you guys. I work in Hollywood and people tell me to put my baby on tv and I will never after seeing how they do kids and people.

That was my initial thought as I read the title.
The title should be changed to give her name the respect it deserves.
She may have been used and abused but she was NOT a prostitute.

I heard James Coburn make a gross comment, on a Shirley Temple special during the 1980s, about Shirley Temple's legs by saying that she had, "sexy little legs" which I thought was totally disgusting. To this day, I have never forgiven him for that comment and that was during the mid 1980s.

She was not only trafficked, but used through Hollywood media to support child trafficking. One song she sang as a youngster in a film was known to be sexualization, and supposedly no one did anything about it. It is amazing she made a real life for herself after going through that, God must have protected her somehow.
I'm sure he did
If God really protected her nothing bad would have happened to her. And God would have prevented her to go to Hollywood in the first place.
Why did he let her go to Hollywood as a small child for all those years. And then protect her later? I see no logic in that all together.
(conclusion of all that is pretty simple. it gives us two possibilities. but i will not write that down, let every person make up his own mind about it, and believe what you choose to believe).
Which song was that?
@@petervermeer.4904 Romans 8:26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one-for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one-for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
@@petervermeer.4904 Some say Hollywood has many satanic occultists there and she may have been a victim of that, maybe both she and her mom. She survived it. Some seem to succumb to it like James Dean and others. It is difficult to say, maybe they apologized to her, or she just thought of them as sick and pathetic and just made her life as well as possible.

I love all your videos Sis! ❤ But you forgot to mention that Shirley Temple was the first (& only for many years) to have an interracial hand holding scene. In The Little Colonel, when she dances up the stairs with Bill Robinson, she insisted on holding his hand. Being that it was 1935 and the world was still viscously ignorant, he wasn’t “allowed” to hold her hand, let alone on screen, but every time they did the scene she naturally took his hand. To the point of where the director said, “She’s just a kid, who cares?” & left it in. Now an iconic moment that speaks volumes about Shirley, especially in her adult life.
That is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. ❤
I’m loving this movie especially because they are together. In an interview she said Mobile auto that she could ride all around the set & have fun. She credits him for being supportive throughout her career; she said he was with her for most & special occasions like her birthdays & many movies……sounded like she felt close to him & grateful for his presence in her life. 😊
I always believed Shirley was an angel when I was a kid, I was raised religiously and even when I strayed away from religion I still believed it.
It was ashamed that those children had to go through that for the sick and distorted minds of those men in Hollywood.
Agreed. And the paying audience thought this was entertainment?
The masses (public) bought into too though, so what does that say about us as a society?

does not have the extraordinary charisma and talent Shirley Temple had, besides which she loved what she was obviously born to do and was very happy with her lot.From her early age she loved to perform and knew she made people happy.Shirley's parents were very good loving protective parents.
Probably a little in awe of the powerful very wealthy heads of the Studio but careful just the same.Shirley's skyrocketing to fame how everyone loved her must have made them very proud.She had an enviably close and loving relationship with her mother something not many have today.
Shirley Temple, the toddler/child star, was every pedophiles dream. She was the studio's owners dream, which is why they sexualized her as a child and didn't know what to do with the adult Shirley Temple by way of roles. It was in your face disgusting. No different than the later versions of the kiddie "beauty" pageants that cost JonBenèt Ramsey her life. They, too, were pedophiles heaven. Adults, in general, will do anything to make money to achieve fame and fortune even off of the backs of children. Being responsible seems to be a hard balancing act for some adults when it comes to child rearing. It's just unfortunate that Shirley Temple wasn't the only child that was put through the ringer. Luckily, she managed to survive and thrive. Very few do.
It's not that Hollywood (then or now) don't know what to do with aging child stars, they simply want very young.

I remember hearing Shirley Temple saying Mr. Bill (Bojangles) Robinson protected her.
Wow that's seriously disturbing what that sicko did locking his office and attempting to rape her .
Ashanti spoke of this during an interview that some record exec asked her to take a shower with him ( yuck 🤮) and when she refused he charged her a heavy fee for music related marketing.
It's not a business to get into when children or anyone really aren't protected.
Despite the exploitation that Shirley faced throughout her child she did not see herself as a victim and achieved many things. Its disheartening to skip from the death of her second husband in her forties to her death in her 80s. You didnt mention any of her accomplishments in adulthood other than marrying and having children. She was active in charities, helping people, and extremely committed to her involvement in politics. I believe she attempted to be first female senator in California. Her determination to not be just a retired childstar is admirable and deserves a mention.
She also made more money in her adult life than she did being a child star. She was in Roosevelts cabinet and held high positions in many charities
@goodgirl170 No. Someone calling out blatant lies, myths, and falsehoods is not about that person's problem or their need to 'create their own channel.'

Great video. Also her staircase dane scene with Bill Robinson in the Little Colonel caused a huge backlash in the racist South. A white girl dancing with a "colored" actor in the 1930s was unprecedented. She talks about how proud she was of that movie and working with Bill Robinson.

Yeah, she called him Uncle Bill and he was actually one that tried to protect her on set of the movies they filmed because he knew what the other men said about her. A child SMH. When he noticed the guys were a little too close, he would call her over to rehearse some steps really quick. She would only learn the routines a few hours before shooting them so she wouldn't forget. But because Bill "Bojangles" was black, he wasn't able to help as much he wanted. They would "put him in his place" as a black man in those times.
She’s definitely a survivor of the industry.
She always stood openly by the side of black people. Shoutout to her for that.
I really wonder what secrets she took to her grave , I'm sure she didn't reveal it all .

I appreciate the title, as it isn’t misleading anyone regarding the crimes that happen in Hollywood. I appreciate the transparency.
As a child, I loved Shirley Temple movies. When I was a teen, I didn't understand why they typecasted her and would have loved seeing her in films as she grew up. But nowadays, I figure it was probably better that she left Hollywood.
As for her mother, I remember an interview with Larry King where Shirley talk about an interview or cast she went to. She went to one room, and her mother was taken somewhere else. The producer revealed himself to Shirley, and she started to laugh. He got mad, and kicked her out. When she was reunited with her mother, during the car ride, she told her mother, "you wouldn't believe what happened to me" and her mother dismissed her and responded, "whatever you went through, I got worse". 😳
When I heard about that it absolutely sickened me. She allowed her own babygirl to get abused and sexualized for YEARS by Hollywood😔
That's a typical reply from a toxic narcissistic mother. Mine sent me to live with a pedo knowing he was from ages 3 to 7 on and off (so she could stay with her alcoholic husband who beat us) and when I confronted her in my adult years about that she said the same thing to me that Shirley's mother said to her.
Ironically my mother was named after Shirley Temple
omg whuuuuaaaaatttttttt
@celticqueen9. So sorry you went through that. I hope you got some type of therapy for your trauma. 😥
I didn't know her mother was like but then again what mother permits Baby berlesque??
I’m glad that she resisted sexual harassments coming from those “Hollywood” creeps as a growing child star. At last, she ended up marrying someone who came from nothing like her as well and had the opportunity to live a long life outside the screen. Career changes may save you from an unfortunate path!
At one point in 1935, Shirley Temple had 5 songs in the top 10 at one time.The only other artist to have 5 songs in the top 10 at once were the Beatles.
I'm 55. When I was a little girl, I idolized Shirley Temple. I was so excited when her movies would come on TV. It's really sad how she was treated when she herself gave us so much happiness, especially by those she should've been able to trust to keep her safe. I never knew of the adulterated movies she starred in. It's inexcusable to put a child in an adult's place and it's so sick how we're still doing this today. Even though Shirley had to endure this sick behavior, she turned out to be a very classy lady. She will always be my favorite star.
I cannot believe they got away with the exploitation of those babies.. I'm disgusted. 💙💙💙
There was apparently an audience for it. People paid tickets to see these babies in the big screen. What does that say about them?

I would be in jail, I'm so protective of my kids, they beg me not to confront situations or try to be calm when doing it because I can be vicious if I feel someone has hurt them
I always knew Hollywood was weird but this level of weirdness is mind boggling 😮she wasn’t protected by anyone including her parents! She was so beautiful and I can only hope she lived a happy life outside of Hollyweird
Rip Shirley💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
At one time I worked with a kid who was forced by their parents to have sex with their sibling and their parents friends. It's way more common than people know. I would've never thought people would do such things.
The great Shirley Temple Black was a resilient maverick. May she be at peace now...😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
💙💙💙
She was a doll. Thank you for telling her story in your beautiful voice!
Another disturbing thing I noticed about Shirley Temple is in her younger years you never seen her with normal children's teeth. The people she worked with put veneers on her little teeth.
They even do that with child performers today. It ruins continuity to have a five year old lose a tooth during filming.
Ew never noticed
Discussed this in the video
They do that in those horrific child beauty pageants too.
Scary
A prostitute is someone that willingly goes out there and does what she does. That little girl had no choice and had no say, and had no one to protect her. She’s a victim, not a prostitute.
Was she prostituted out or no? No matter the word u use, they took advantage of her.
Absolutely! Show some respect. She was a beautiful actress. Not a prostitute but an abused victim.
i agree!
A prostitute is anyone paid for the act.
Absolutely loved Shirley. Makes me sad she went through so much but held it in.
She is a shining light in darkness. She was stronger than her circumstances. That is special.🥰
12 minutes in and I'm disgusted at what I'm seeing. Adults actually sat down and actually watched/promoted this filth? This is blatant exploitation, not entertainment. My heart goes out to EVERY child, whose been enticed into this and and the music industry.
I've seen other documentaries on Shirley Temple, but this is by far the best. Thank you 💜🍃
Same. 🙏🏽💙
Actually by far the worst.
I understand why J.K Rowling never wanted the Harry Potter saga goes to Hollywood and didn't want Steven Spielberg directing the franchise.... She really protected those kids.
And see how the leftists treat jk now
@@rebekahnorris7392 Woke to be approved and hypocrites they are...
Wrong,he (Spielberg)turned down the offer.
I wonder if people understand what the term woke actually means. Because I can tell most people don’t.
@@bluerayhealingwithrain5190 I completely agree!
Just like many other terms these days have, that term was stolen, twisted & sold by those wishing to push their own agenda or ideology but at the same time always having the added benefit of the original use of the term as a distant backup so that anyone who may criticise the hijacked meaning can be labelled some hate name - which is obviously why those terms are carefully selected based on the ignorance of those not privy to the true meaning while at the same time, robbing those for whom the term holds importance for.
I guarantee the majority who use that term have zero notion as to the original/true meaning or importance behind it and would be horrified to know from where & whom it's been hijacked. I wish more people spoke up about it as it was happening (I know some did which is the only reason I know what you're even referring to) but as per usual it's a gradual transition and before you know it, the current/popular use has little to no resemblance to what it once meant.
Alternatively terms which are derogatory are often repurposed in the same way which allows the term to survive. I'm assuming you're American(?) but an example from Ireland (where I'm from) would be 'Paddy' (used as a derogative) or 'beyond The Pale', which is hilarious to us when we hear Americans commonly use it but was originally used as a derogatory comment about the 'ignorant, uncivilised, savages' 👀😂 populating the uncultivated, barren land that were people of Ireland during British colonialism. 'The Pale' was County Dublin - the only civilised place in Ireland, populated by the only civilised people (the English) 😂. Hearing Americans order a 'Black and Tan' in a bar is another one that is highly offensive/hurtful to Irish people 🥴
(Ps Sorry for essay)
She is a beautiful human being, I'm so happy she never let anyone strip her of her dignity/humanity 💙
You know what's worse than the casting couch form of Hollywood? A mother forcing her daughter/sons legs open for the abuser. This isn't just hype it's the fact then and now.
Maybe now and then MGM.
Her beautiful spirit just shone through. I’m so happy she got to live the rest of her life in peace and happiness💙💙💙
You are an AMAZING documentarian! Wow! I am just stunned by all your awesome work! I LOVE learning from your videos and your voice is stunning! THANK YOU for telling all these true stories!!
I admire Shirley for staying sane and staying away from drugs and alcohol ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After everything she's been through, she seems like a very humble person. When I was a little girl I used to love to watch her tap dance. Shirley was very talented.💙💙💙💐💐💐
Shirley was a beautiful and intelligent child.
It was a milk bar....in that one film.
Shirley once said in an interview, "The day I retired from acting, no one from the studio really said goodbye. As if it was just another day."
I think she enjoyed being a mother and her life with her second husband away from Hollywood. I think what was best.
She was really strong since the beginning. I aspire to have her spirit and mind in these times.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Shirley Temple was a favorite as a child. I watched all of her movies and still own most of them.
Same
Thank you for getting to it and speaking at a good pace. Unlike other UA-camrs.
She became a well adjusted adult which was a miracle! ❤
No it wasn't she had good and loving parents and she loved them.
When I was 15, my mother set me up with a nineteen-year-old boy she worked with when she was 49. She did this so that she could drive him home and have date nights with us altogether. They ended up marrying. It did not end well for them. Still my last words to her were I love you Mommy. Kinda sad.
Speechless😢
Good God! You poor thing.😢
I hope nowadays you are doing better than ever!
Wow 😢that is insane 😞
I'm ok, thanks
This was a well spoken and thought out video,one of the most impactful ones I've watched so far. May she rest in peace 💙
Thank you! Shirley Temple went through a lot that she shouldn’t have had to go through. She was wise to leave Hollywood and became a very famous and wise lady without Hollywood. I’m glad she had a good long marriage, she deserved peace and happiness on her own terms.🙏❤️
It’s heartbreaking what Shirley went through.😔
She was too good for Hollywood.🤍
My absolutely favorite feature of her beauty was her cheekbones and dimples.☺️
It's her signature curly hair for me. ❤
I agree.
You are repeating yourself it's getting boring
Hollywood was a giant Brothel from day 1, still is!, run by the Chosen ones!
She wasn’t a “prostitute” she was a child being r worded by adults 😢
By men
Yeah the wording of the title really irked me, this is exploitation and rape
I believe she meant some of the inappropriate movies that portrayed her that way. I never knew such films existed. Really disgusting and her parents should never allowed that.
This app doesn't allow for certain terms
The title refers to her FIRST role as a 3 year old. Not what happened to her.
Yeah Hollywood is sick 😳
She's Beautiful..Thank You For Sharing Your Talent With The World 🌍 🥰
💙💙💙💙💙 Shirley was special... and it's sad to hear about all she went through... how evil people can be... yet she remained as sweet and positive as she always was. True Icon💕
Rest in peace Shirley Temple 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙we love you and will always remember you.
💙💙💙 I’m a 80’s baby so yes I sure do remember the Shirley temple curls
her momma made them for her
Her presence will forever remain timeless 💙
The war babies movie is extremely disturbing .I wonder how people accepted such a diagusting thing that time .
Like 5 year olds and Niki Minaj uh
She was simply adorable & so talented at her young age i used to love watching her movies. I realize now as an adult what that child went through it breaks my heart...may she rest now in happiness & love🙏💙
I loved Shirley Temple!💙 I am so sad to hear she was another abused child! 💙😔😢💙
Honestly...the title "SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIM to UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR" should have been enough. Take the high road. A lot of survivors of child sexual abuse look UP to Shirley Temple Black. She was NEVER a prostitute, nor perceived as one...until NOW.
Until Freudian psychology raised it's ugly head!
The title makes perfect sense because she was basically pimped out by her family and company so maybe think before you lash out.
I’ve always loved her 🥰She’s adorable ❤️Rip Shirley Temple🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Sorry that happened to you 😞
Wow, I always thought Shirley Temple had a protective mother?! 🥹
That is kid porn 😲🤮😡
Yeah🤢🤬
Right my goodness 💔💔
10:48 bruh wtf
I grew up in the 60's and 70's loving old movies and the history of Hollywood. I knew all the old movie stars' names and all about their careers, and had seen most of their films. I knew very well who Shirley Temple was, but admittedly had never watched a complete movie she was in. I knew that all adults of the era loved this young child actress and her movies.
Shockingly, when I finally actually saw a movie with the young Shirley Temple, I was creeped out, mortified and very confused. I didn't understand how adults could like these films or be okay with what she was wearing or how she was forced to behave. As a young girl who really knew nothing about sex, even I knew something was really wrong with what I was seeing. To this day, I don't understand how generations of adults, who supposedly loved Shirley Temple, and children in general, saw this as wholesome entertainment, and made the studios who produced those films profitable beyond their dreams by consuming that content with a fervor.
I get that people always claim it was "a simpler time", but for me that doesn't really explain it. If I as an innocent 10 or 11 year old could sense there was something inappropriately sexual about this, how did no intelligent adult feel the same? I just don't get it. How did that all pass as okay even in the time those films were produced? If anyone has a theory, please respond to me because I'd love to hear it. I'm in my 60's now, and I still don't understand.
Thank God that child went on to make a wonderful life for herself, but most exploited children are nowhere as lucky.
Mass psychosis. We’ve been socialized this way for generations.
what abuse in psychosis? No it is just plain sin and selfishness and moral corruption.@@LalalandLizzy
💙
I came across a shirey temple doc. I couldn't get past it. I knew I had to go to my girl Karine for the facts !
I love her… I would watch reruns of her movies as a kid and they were some of my favorite movies to watch 😘💙💙💙🩵🩷
I'm 56 and I grew up watching her and I never knew all that we have been awakening to more and more sick and twisted things that have been there but ignored until now thank you for showing this bless her and you 💙💙
I loved watching old Shirley Temple movies growing up. Though I’m no where near her era, she still made an impact on my childhood. Rest in peace Shirley Temple💙!
This was hidden in plain sight. No one who wasn’t abused could fathom that these movies of babies moving around flirty was anything more than satire.
nooo Shirley Temple 😭😭😭😭😭 im surprised she didnt go crazy shes really strong if i ever were to go through what shes been through ( God forbid ) i wouldve never got over it at all
Those Baby Burlesque shorts are truly painful to watch with our modern sensibilities and knowledge...😥
Yet 3 year olds are taught to twerk from their mothers
This covered so many things I never knew, and I really appreciate you taking the time to focus on her good personal qualities and achievements and interests outside of the entertainment industry. May Shirley Rest in Paradise. 💙🕊
Holy fuk... Hollywood BEEN WEIRD!!!! watching her kiss other lil boys n say IM EXPENSIVE.. 🤬🤬🤬
The Vatican 'cares' A LOT about children. SO many priests 'care' so much they get transfrered around the world to 'care' for children. I hope Shirley's life was really as happy as looked. 💙
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hollyweird 😮. America has a Serious Problem 😞
I loved her when I was little. I was an 80’s baby. Because of her I always had Mary Janes, gloves, matching purses, curly locks…
When I got older I did my research on her and it’s hard to believe that my childhood icon endured so much trauma! But she is a prime example that no matter what happens to you as a child you can grow up and still be a good person. Bless her beautiful heart. I don’t get how her own mother thought it was ok to let her daughter do some of those roles! She needed protection. Hollywood is phucking disgusting. I can only imagine what all those kids went through. I feel like it was even worse back then. I mean, what’s going on now is BAAAD but back then no one thought of children as actual people.
She was amazing! And between the years 1989 - 1992 she was the US ambassador to Czechoslovakia. My country! We loved her! We all were like: WOOOOW!
Thank you for telling her story with respect. 💜
