IWOTA #3 SHIRLEY TEMPLE

In my childhood in the ’60’s, a few years before Seargent Peppers swept me up into its ear-candied Beatlemania, Shirley Temple was my favourite star.

As a little boy in Australia, I believed she was my friend.

She had three fulltime careers in her lifetime:

1. Movie Star

2. Wife and Mother

and

3 Diplomat

And today, on the 9th anniversary of her death, I call her an Indigenous Woman Of The Anglosphere.

A Great American.

For all of my English Speaking World.
