7-year-old Shirley Temple: the sweetest angel on earth, but she was remembered by a Hollywood pedophile director. What happened?
Macaulay Culkin, Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley Temple are the top three child stars in Europe and America. Of the three, Shirley Temple's acting career was extremely short-lived, as she retired from the stage at the age of 22. What we remember about her is her lovely "curly hair". Even with her gray hair, she was a "babe" who was loved by the whole world.
Shirley Temple was born in 1928 in Santa Monica, California. When she was 3 years old, she became interested in dancing. She was also attracted to Jegoni for her dancing and starred in the patriotic musical "Stand Up and Cheer," which also launched an acting career for Temple.
At the tender age of six, Temple appeared in eight Fox movies, such as "The New Groupie" 103010, "Little Angie". Her outstanding performances, delicate face and lovely curly hair made her one of the top ten stars in the United States, and her fame even surpassed that of Greta Garbo and Katharine Hepburn.
During the 10-year depression in America, people could forget all their troubles by seeing a smiling girl for only 15 cents. Even Roosevelt spoke highly of her, saying she boosted America's sagging morale. With her rise to fame, Temple was paid more than $120,000, more than any of her actress contemporaries.
At the tender age of 7, Temple won her first Oscar as a child actor for her superb performance. In the 1930s, little blonde curls and a dimpled smile would be in everyone's eyes when talking about Temple. Years later, looking back at Temple, one realizes that these innocent performances were filled with creepy, vulgar jokes.
In most of Temple's movies, she plays a fatherless and motherless orphan who is adopted by a good Samaritan. In her relationships with men, she always displayed adult intimacy and ambiguity, and her dress code was designed to be glamorous. Little Lover She even marries her guardian, as ridiculous as that sounds.
She even played a "dancer" in some of the shorts, and at age 6, she gave her first kiss in a scene with a child actor. Meanwhile, she says that at 12, she was asked to cast in "Poor Rich Girl" and the producer made her strip.
She was only 12. Naturally, she didn't know anything and had to do as she was told. But as she got older, she finally realized something was wrong. In her autobiography, she wrote: The number one problem in Hollywood is pedophilia, always has been. I was surrounded by them when I was 14, and I didn't realize it until I was older. I was surrounded by them like vultures.
In the minds of many, Shirley Temple was just the cute candy person, but for some grown men in Hollywood, her naiveté was much more complicated.In 1950, at the age of 22, Temple called it quits. Maybe she was bored, too. Although Temple was one of them, the phenomenon is not uncommon in show business.
Shirley Temple: an angel on earth who had the misfortune to fall prey to pedophiles. What was her endgame?
As a famous American child star, Shirley Temple won the audience's favor with her angelic appearance and natural acting skills as soon as she debuted. At that time, as a popular American child star, she was a guarantee of movie box office and profits for the company.
She was at the age of innocence when she became famous. Everything and everyone in her world was simple and clean, but it was at this time that she met a "pedophile" and her childhood was shrouded in this "darkness".
She chose to run away from this "dark" place. Afterwards, she went through the trials of cancer and the pain of a failed marriage, but she dared to break through the darkness. But she dared to break through the darkness and finally found her new world.
The American film industry is the place where the darkness of Shirley Temple's childhood began, where her dreams of becoming an angel began, and where some of her honors came from. It's also where audiences felt she looked like an angel.
Shirley Temple began taking dance lessons at the age of 3, got the chance to be in a musical at the age of 6, and officially became a movie child star when she shot to stardom in WWI.
She went on to become a household name in the United States as a "Children's Angel," appearing in nearly 10 movies in just one year, thanks to her immense popularity.
In 1935, at the age of seven, Shirley Temple won the Academy Award, becoming the youngest recipient of the award since its inception. By then, her acting career had begun a new high, as she had a growing fan base and took on more movie roles.
At the time, there was no movie she was in that audiences didn't like, and she herself had long been earning more than $100,000, making her a famous movie star.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shirley Temple was like an angel in the American movie market, bringing good economic benefits to the American movie market. At the same time, she is also the angel of the audience, bringing laughter to the audience.
For moviegoers and the U.S. movie market, Hula Temple is an angel. But in the eyes of some of the people who worked with her, she was "prey".
When she first entered the movie business, Shirley Temple was so young that she couldn't tell if the people she worked with every day were "pedophiles" or not. Perhaps she only knew that she had to do certain lines and performances at the director's behest every day.
So, for Shirley Temple at that time, she did not understand the "weird" behavior of these "pedophiles" and the meaning behind it, nor did she understand those "weird" eyes. The "weird" looks.
It's not easy being an "angel" to the audience. Staff told Shirley Temple that if she wanted to remain an angel to the audience, she would have to accept some "strange behavior. As it turns out, these "strange behaviors" are common practice for "pedophiles" to molest children.
As she grew older, Shirley Temple matured physically and mentally. Suddenly, she realized that she had always been the "prey" of the "pedophile", whether it was a movie shoot or an ordinary work negotiation, which made her fall into deep thought and deep fear.
In the movie story, she plays an adopted daughter who falls in love with her adoptive father, who is dozens of years older than her; I have also performed scenes in which I was lifted up by a group of adult men, with "lewdness" in their eyes
And in ordinary work negotiations, there were producers who openly engaged in "lewd" behaviors towards her. lewd" behavior.
Overall, Shirley Temple thought she was an "angel" for a while when everyone called her one. But when she realized what had happened to her as a "pedophile," all images of being an "angel" were swept away.
The "pedophiles" in those movie stories and the "pedophiles" in reality are not the same for her, who grew up in the American movie industry, although there are "hypocrites" and "hypocrites" in hypocritical garb. "There's a difference between a hypocrite and an unabashed molester, but it's just as sickening.
The older Shirley Temple may have been an angel, but now she has fallen prey to pedophiles.
From "angel" to "prey of pedophiles", the darkness that Shirley Temple has experienced in her life is not limited to her encounter with "pedophiles", and the sunshine of her life is not limited to moviegoers. The sunshine in her life wasn't the only thing moviegoers recognized, but it started when she was 11 years old.
Shirley Temple had a chance to star in "The Wizard of Oz" when she was 11, but lost it when her agency turned her down. Instead, the actor who replaced her in "The Wizard of Oz" gained fame and became a hot newcomer at the time.
Since then, her movie career has suffered an unprecedented slide. As she grew older, she gradually lost her childish appearance and temperament, but the changes were hard for audiences to accept, and this became a "push" for her to change herself.
The double pressure of a low career and a "dark" childhood made Shirley Temple eager to change the status quo, and at the age of 17 she opted for a "flash marriage". But this marriage has always been filled with "impulsive psychology, escape from life" and other colors, so soon ended in divorce, which can be regarded as another "dark" in her life.
In 1950, she officially left her previous career in the movies to start a new one. It was also the year she met her life partner and started a happy family life.
Later, Shirley Temple moved on to politics. At that time, she also actively participated in the U.S. congressional campaign, and later was appointed as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations, and then served as the U.S. Department of State's Chief of Protocol, to participate in the Swan Revolution
Shirley Temple finally found her own value in the U.S. political arena. But during this period of her political participation, she encountered another "darkness" in her life - she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After being diagnosed with cancer, she did not give up on herself, but actively cooperated with the treatment, and after her recovery, she continued to devote herself to her political career as quickly as possible, and won her own place. Later, she had also used her experience of this illness to encourage other sick women to overcome the disease.
In Shirley Temple's life, "pedophiles," failed marriages, and illnesses were all "darkness," but she passed through the "darkness" and ultimately gained happiness. She used her actions to tell everyone that behind the scenery is darkness, but as long as you have the courage to go through the darkness, the sunshine will always appear.
Perhaps for XiuLan Dumboer, whether she is an "angel" or not has long ceased to be important, and those "darkness" in her life has long become her life experience, when she bravely chose to go through the "darkness", and eventually harvested happiness. "The darkness has been a part of her life for a long time, and when she bravely chose to go through the darkness, she eventually ushered in the sunshine that belonged to her.
