And she said why? And he said she was just DONE. When she began to cry, he said Have a Tissue on me. And her career was over bec he was the most powerful man in Hollywood.

It seems so inconsequential but I have been so influenced by Classic Hollywood, that I felt darn lucky to have seen all these bits of cinema history in person!Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-45478266412681852152015-06-17T20:19:36.536-07:002015-06-17T20:19:36.536-07:00Wasn't it neat!?!!

When I really walked around, I was amazed by how much history they packed into those two spaces.Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-27808589399460772015-06-17T12:48:08.776-07:002015-06-17T12:48:08.776-07:00Great pics, thanks for sharing them with us!

I am second generation Shirley fan, my mother having shared her with me when I was a child. I have given her movies to my nieces to pay her forward and still watch her movies. Who cannot forget her tearful cry of "Grandfather, Grandfather" in Heidi? The book "the Little Girl Who Fought the Depression" is a lovely read about her impact on America in the depression and touches on her later years. She seems to be one of the fortunate child stars that continued to live a lovely, giving life after being famous as a child.
