DVD Reviews of Biography - Shirley Temple: The Biggest Little Star
DVD Review: A Shirley Temple Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
As a great aunt myself, I grew up watching Shirley Temple when ever I could. I saw Shirley in the TV Shows The Little Rascels, as Stella, and most of her other movies. I wish I was able to see her as a teenager and adult in her acting career before she retired.
I highly recommend all of Shirley Temple movies as good family films to watch.
They teach a lot of good values for young people to learn, and how to respect others regardles of color of skin or religion.

DVD Review: BIOGRAPHY - SHIRLEY TEMPLE
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent lifes account of one of the greatest names in the history of the movies. Shirley's life after hollywood in the 1930's and 40's was
very interesting as well and this dvd gives a most detailed story of the childstar/woman who has been idolised by the world for many decades.
DVD Review: Really Enjoyed This DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this biography on television for the first time, I must say I was blown away by all the things Shirley actually did with her life, especially after her stardom ended in the Hollywood scene. She is a very intriguing person, and if you are a fan of hers, or maybe just have seen a few of her movies and are a little curious, you will enjoy this DVD. It is very entertaining!
Description of Biography - Shirley Temple: The Biggest Little Star
As America's princess, Shirley Temple captured the hearts of millions with her charm, youth, and talent. She debuted at age three and became a star at six when her mother landed her the lead role in Little Miss Marker, the box-office sensation of 1934. BIOGRAPHY? traces her short, bright career in Depression-era America, a time when audiences found welcome escape in her delightful singing and dancing. Witness rare clips from Bright Eyes, Curly Top, and The Littlest Rebel, and hear from costars such as Alice Faye. Learn how she disappeared from the public eye only to reappear in politics, where she remained active for almost two decades. From childhood stardom to her highly publicized battle with breast cancer, BIOGRAPHY? presents the story of Shirley Temple, America's original sweetheart. DVD Features: Interactive Menus; Scene Selection"The Biggest Little Star," as this 100-minute video is titled, child actor-singer-dancer Shirley Temple saved a Hollywood studio and brightened the lives of Depression-era filmgoers. Peter Graves's narration is complemented by interviews of actors such as Gloria Stuart and the late Roddy McDowall, President Gerald Ford, as well as biographers and her on-set tutor. From her beginnings in a series of disquietingly sexual low-budget "Kiddie Burlesk" spoofs to her heyday in wholesome pictures such as The Little Colonel and Heidi, the sausage-curled Temple grew up onscreen before an adoring public. An accomplished dancer she was paired with the likes of Buddy Ebsen and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. When she held hands with the latter, a black man, the pint-sized reformer not only made a small step for race relations, she inspired theaters in the Deep South to edit those parts out of her films. Her costars included Ronald Reagan and, as a pre-reader, she learned her lines from her mother before bedtime. But by age 12 she was a has-been and the very studio she had saved from bankruptcy, 20th Century Fox, released her from her contract. The resilient Temple went on to a second career in Republican politics, losing a California congressional run, but securing appointments under presidents Nixon, Ford, and Bush. This video biography, part of the excellent A&E series, is crammed with clips from her movies and offers plenty of information on her two careers. Unlike others in the series, however, it provides scant details on the personal front, shedding little light on her relationships with her stage mother and apparently somewhat uninvolved father or on her two marriages. --Kimberly Heinrichs
