Vintage Shirley Temple in "Kid 'N Hollywood"

[tuberousness]

Very nice that sound recording had already arrived a few years before, otherwise we would have missed her earliest years. Ms. Shirley Temple Black is nearly 85 now.

[DreamsCumTrue469]

glad I could find this to hear her sing Woods' "we just couldn't say goodbye," but this whole production, like IMDB says, is a bit creepy for child actors. Shows how it was under the "studio system" - AKA management having total and absolute control over work and the employee. Under Hollywood's Ford assembly line movie approach, Shirley worked 12-18 hours a day for 6 days a week, making 11 movies in 1933 and 12 in 1934. Some want to take labor back to these autocratic ruling days.

@DreamsCumTrue469 Yea, that was pretty creepy. 12-18 hours a day? So, were Shirley's parents also under the studio's control or did they push her also?

[DreamsCumTrue469]

@jparker59able not sure, but since this was the Depression and everybody was hurtin' for money, I doubt the parents had any complaints. This was a golden opportunity for the times. Trouble is, when the employer has too much control, bad things can happen and people can be ruined, as happened to Judy Garland at MGM and like we have recently discovered in a similar total control situation with Penn State Football

[jojoscogsable]

They don't make kids like that anymore!

[crazypie99]

The clock was striking twelve o'clock, it looked on us below,

With folded hands, it seemed to say, we'll miss you if you go.

So I went back and kissed him and when I looked around,

The room was singing love songs and dancing up and down.

Now we're both so happy because at last we've found

That we just couldn't say goodbye.

[AGmadeline17]

Here are the lyrics for the song!

We thought the love was over, that we were really through,

I said I didn't love him, that we'd begin anew,

And you can all believe me, we sure intended to,

But we just couldn't say goodbye.

The chair and then the sofa, they broke right down and cried,

The curtain started waving for me to come inside.

I tell you confident'a'lly the tears were hard to hide,

And we just couldn't say goodbye.

@princesszoecutie

What is your damage?

[luvmyfriends112]

what year is this from?

[19ChAnTeUsE90]

For everyone that saws the outfits are too "sexy" or "skimpy", when I was three I started ballet and wore costumes similar to that. They were the same cut but not as intricately decorated.

As for the kissing did anyone have a boy/girl chasing them around the playground when they were 5? It's meant in a lighthearted way

[PandaPandaKai]

wtf the ending XD lmao shirley temple is cute

[polkadotpolka123]

i love miss snobo!

"i think i'm too tired" *closes eyes* :D

[Alligator2394]

OMG 7:00 TO 7:05 IS HILARIOUS

[johnnyoh21]

And to think Fox News Wouldn't exist if she hadn't saved Fox from bankruptcy back then. These kids are pushing 80 now

[auntbecky]

@johnnyoh21 Well, no ones perfect. Even Shirley.

[zybotsu001]

her outfit is a lil too skimpy for her age. It's cute but I think it's a lil too sexual! They have her kissing boys and singing about love at that age? wow...sick!

[auntbecky]

@zybotsu001 They made a whole series and they were all like that. No one thought anything about it. Im surprised it got by the Hays code.

[playgirlc]

oh she's so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, no little kid ever cuter than shirley temple

[blondiegirl67545]

4:37 does that kid look like he has downs or is he just crosse eyed, 5:35 and 5:43 she has the most gorgeous smile 6:40 the way she says child is so gorgeous!

[blondiegirl67545]

3:35 she has a heartwarming smile miss temple does!

[TheNewHippieEra]

i think 3:01 is a bit racist but maybe thats just me :(

[TheDaisyCastillo]

"but my love for you is making me all screwy!"

BAHAHAHA!

so goooood!

XD

[arual1969]

I THINK SHE IS NOT MUCH OLDER AT 3YEARS!

[mediate27]

Wow, a cute black baby... never thought I'd see one of those.

; )

Also, I think girlonlaptop is right; these do seem like the same babies from War Babies. Same voices at least.

[kaitlenandelvis4ever]

yes there all the same babies from war babies

[teehonky]

kiddie porn

[kysen5]

5:25 he's sucking her chin not kissing her x3 you see her mouth just above

[reena666]

cute as ever

[bawain]

loool babies scrubbing an even tinier baby

lool so cute

[Aelinore]

LOL! "But my love for you is driving me sca-rewy!"

[girlonlaptop]

i can not believe i am getting to see Shirley at such a young age...this story line is too good and all the boys are so good...the same boys from "war babies" it seems.

[freakshowing88]

so kute

[4mywish]

oh my!!!!!!!!!!!! shirley is such a dool and she sounds so cute and young...I love her dance too! "I won a beauty contest!" lol

[yaoiaccount]

heck yes giant safety pin!

[angerfuelsall]

She is amazing. I can't believe a child so young can have so much talent. It is unbelievable. Getting a kid to be so patient, follow orders to perform what is written from a script so perfectly.. that takes a lot of work. Only a child so talented and obedient can perform that way!

[LEK2129]

Thats what I thought too

[RockOn263]

My favorite little short ever.

[amy027]
