They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
They never made ‘em like her before or after.
LOL. Read her autobiography. She was very intelligent and articulate. She made some mistakes like everyone, but what an exciting, interesting, exceptional life!!!!
I agree, that’s exactly what I thought when I first heard the news of her death.
I don’t know her movies that well, but all I need to know comes from the people who have.
My daughter has really curly hair like Temple’s was, and my wife and I get comments from people all the time that our daughter reminds them of her. The striking comments come from young people who you’d think would regard her as ancient history.
THAT is an enduring legacy!
I always liked her and thought her movies were uplifting.
I came to realize when I became older in life, her popularity against the backdrop of a depression and its aftermath was pleasant distraction for the affected populace.
Today, I realize something like that could not occur because blacks, hispanics and other minorities would be complaining about her being white, not enough black, gay or whatever actors and demanding government funding for a corresponding movie that supports a ‘fair opportunity’ while concurrently demanding punitive sanctions against the “white girl”.
i can’t believe her parents named her after a cocktail though.
i really don’t get that, or why she didn’t change her name.
Lou Gerhig's parents named him after a disease.
big laugh on that one. you topped me by a mile.
True in a sense BUT then you have.... you’re....
1) Jackie Evancho’s
2) Anna Graceman’s
3) Emily Bear’s
4) Alma Deutscher’s..
and even
5) Gene Emerson’s..
and many more..

Congrats, you are the first person that has actually made me laugh out loud today. Aloha
I hope the angels welcomed her into heaven. I knew her a little bit. She was as nice as they say.
LOL to you both...nice!
Young people today do not realize they behave like senile demented old people. They need to visit a senatorium to get their reality check. They are retarded and should take Hirly Temple as a role model (though I am not into role models).
