@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

@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?

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.

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.

What is your damage?
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!
