April 23rd is Shirley Temple Day!!! Shirley Temple is who I wanted to be when I was a little kid. Her movies were the first that introduced me to the dancing and culture that hold soooo close to my heart!!! My family always said that I looked like her when I was young as well :-). Well, besides me idealizing her when I was little Shirley Temple has done a lot of great outreach work throughout the world and has been an inspiration for many with her singing and dancing. For me the greatest thing about her is her work and friendship with the great Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. He is the one who taught her to dance and was huge influence on her personality and demeanor. The films she did with him are my favorites! Thank you Ms. Temple for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Shirley Temple. :-)
