Salute to Childrens television Shirley Temple

When I was little, every Sunday morning, our local tv station would show a classic Shirley Temple movie.
I loved Shirley. I raised Jie Jie with Shirley Temple movies and Mimi watches them as well.

The classic is when Shirley Temple stars as a little girl who is orphaned when her mother is run over by a car. Of course, her father had already been killed in a plane crash, so she decides to live a happy life in an airport with a bunch of airline pilots.
Her wish is almost ruined by a wealthy family who wants to keep her for their grandfathers money.... this was also one of my mothers favorites. Bright Eyes does have the most famous of Shirley scenes on the good ship lollipop.
Shirley does end up in the best possible situation. She does, although, withstand some trials and tribulations.
