She is a model of how a child actor should act and should grow up. Sadly, her wonderful example is largely ignored these days. RIP, Shirley. You were an Icon.

I really enjoyed her work growing up. She was very talented and after leaving Hollywood, she became an American Ambassador. She was an example on how to act as a famous person.

What a life she had. She was one my mother's personal favorites. She has all kinds of collectables. I remember her putting on those movies all the time when me and by brothers were kids.

R.I.P....a true screen legend.
