I so agree!!! These three actresses( my personal favorites) were all legendary! If you added Sandra Dee ( “Gidget”) to the mix lol!🤣you would have my four favorite actresses! Loved all their movies & they were all absolutely amazing women... all starting off in the business as children or young women!
She was indeed! I so agree with you! Loved her & her movies as a child! My mother thankfully, used to put her movies on tv for me , all the time, as a small child! Thanks to my beloved mother( now sadly passed over), I adored Shirley Temple & all of her movies! She was an incredible actress but moreover she was a extraordinary woman! She was a “true WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE” in every sense of the word! May she “Rest In Peace!”❤️
Everyone loved little Shirley Temple, I wanted to hug that little girl. And as she grew older she was still someone to hug. We loved ya Shirley and Annette also.
It's almost too much attractiveness to exist in one place, had Hayley joined them the Earth may have shattered. No wonder it appears Bob is having trouble remaining a gentleman. I actually had no idea Shirley grew up to be such a knock out.
This clip must have been 1960/61 time frame. How elegant everything was and how lovely they both were. Shirley was about 32 and Annette was 18. Wow what a great memory and to see this after all these years. May they both RIP. I was 14 and Annnette was my older women LOL
What wonderful nostalgia. I must be getting old, these beautiful people are either gone, or teetering away. What will we do without the delightful Mrs. Black?
How lucky( blessed!) to have had that unique opportunity to have met her & you still can remember it( that is the best part!)! What a great memory that must be for you & thanks for sharing it with us all!❤️
I so love all of these incredibly talented women! Annette Funicello, Hayley Mills & Shirley Temple, were three women that I so adored & admired when I was both a young child & then a teenager, growing up in the 60’s!❤️ I so loved all their movies & thought all three ( still do!) were extraordinary! Amazing that Hayley Mills was receiving an Oscar but unfortunately was unable to attend! It was so exciting though that Annette( both were dearly loved Disney actresses) were there to receive the Oscar for her! I really got such a kick out of Bob Hope( my mom & grandmother loved him!) & his sense of humor! I remember my parents & grandmother watching Bob Hope on tv as a kid! This is the most wonderful video ever, seeing these two amazing actresses on the stage together! ❤️
I have a pic of Shirley and Annette together from this Oscar awards presentation but this is the first time I've ever seen the video clip of them together. This is really special, thanks for putting this on!
From one legendary 20th century child star to another! Shirley will always be the captain of the Good Ship Lollipop and Hayley will always be our Pollyanna. May Shirley rest in peace
Shirley, of all her talents loved to DANCE. The great tap dancer Bill Robinson, said she was a PRO and a delight to work with - like working with another adult dancer serious about their work. It is only when she's dancing does she really come alive. You can see the joy of a true artist on her face.
In the end, we are kept waiting as Bob Hope obviously does his "I'll trade you some real estate I have in Toluca Lake for that Oscar" routine with Annette and Shirley
Both Shirley and Annette so beautiful. I think that Bob was making them a little nervous though. But he did look very elegant in his white tie and tails!
OmG! That dress is absolutely fabulous fitting. So angelically beautiful. My aunts said that when my mom was young she lite up a room like a angel when she walk in a room. So tiny and petite she love feminine clothes. She real young lady. we never knew why she was so angelic- like she loved annette.
Your rose colored nostalgia for the past as a simpler more moral time is a fantasy. Shirley Temple and Judy Garland talked extensively about how they were abused, exploited, and molested at the hands of Hollywood figures. Shirley Temple’s first speaking role was in the _Baby Burlesks_ shorts where children were depicted in adult sexualized scenarios. She was three years old and playing a scantily clad prostitute performing sexualized dances while half naked three year olds prepositioned her and tried to pay her with lollipops which they would lick suggestively while other toddlers and babies suggestively sucked milk out of rubber gloves which splashed all over them while an adult man’s voice groaned. Shirley Temple recalled that when children misbehaved or got out of line on set the staff would lock them in a small dark box on wheels, with a block of ice beneath to sit on. In your Golden Age of entertainment, perversion and abuse were done in secret in reality while entertainment was sanitized. In the modern age of entertainment perverts and monsters are exposed and purged. I prefer my entertainment to be vulgar yet created by squeaky clean people rather than sanitized entertainment created by monsters and degenerates.
My favorite Shirley movies are Heidi, The Little Princess, Curly Top, Captain January, The Little Colonial, Little Miss Broadway and Just Around the Corner
That was pretty funny when Bob tried to buy the Oscar. He was truly a funny man and we wish we had another just like him. The two lovely ladies are gone but are not forgotten. Two generations of young men were enamored with them.
I discovered their movies when i was late into my high school career. They made me wish i saw them when i was younger and my parents had brought their VHS tapes home.
Shirley looked like she was looking down at the podium reading her lines. With all the memorization she did for the movies, I was surprised to see this.
Annette and Shirley temple will be missed a whole lot. They were America. Sweet Heartland I loved them both. May God bless there Family for always because they cared. Enough about them both to keep them well Jesus loves them all .
Life goes on without all those very talented people. Its a shame they do not make people like this anymore. The likes of decent child actors is not good if you look back on history alot of famous child stars of the 1930's and 1940's did end tragically too. At least Annette and Shirley did not end up as druggies. Sad about Annette of dying from a horrible disease at age of 70 but Shirley Temple had a great career later on as an Ambassador and a had 3 kids and a happy and long marriage to her 2nd husband. Annette had a cheating womanizing first husband (A hollywood agent) but was able to find happiness with her 2nd husband Glen Holt. R.I.P. Annette and Shirley.
Bob Hope never won an Oscar. It was THE joke every year! He was often pretending to steal a statue from others. That is what this looked like to me. One of his jokes was that at his house, they call the Oscars the “Great Passover”. I used to love to watch this award every year, the show was often very funny because of Bob Hope’s comedic talent. Now, I haven’t watched the Oscar Presentation Show in years. I rarely watch a movie that I can’t watch on my computer.
i do not recall where i heard it, but it was years ago, i heard that Bob Hope was simply a horrid person. @S_Jay -- that would make a lot of sense in regard to what i heard. so sad. there are videos on here showing how sexualized little Shirley Temple was, back when she was a little girl. i hate to say, but she was probably being passed around back then, and Annette too.
Maybe Bob made a tasteless remark to Annette about her beauty and Shirley stepped in to put a stop to it. She appeared to be very annoyed with him. I really don't know if Bob was known to do that kind of thing outside of his comedy routines, but that was an awkward moment even as he walked back to the podium.
Did Annette look awesome or what ?!!!!! A liivng doll ! Her sickness and death is beyond sad. She only deserved the best. Many of us know first hand, life isnt fair !!!!
It's sad that Hayley wasn't even told she had won an Oscar, nor that she could've been there to accept it. Instead her parents kept her in the dark and refused to mention it. Hayley was in boarding school, not working at the time and her parents kept it from her. As an adult now she understands the enormity of the win, but at the time not being allowed to celebrate it meant she felt her success was somehow a bad thing and it made her guilty. Honestly I think her parents ignored it due to her father not winning an Oscar at that point, despite a life time of film making. Hayley won a child Oscar at just 14, with just her second movie! I feel bad for Hayley she was always kept "down" by her parents, not allowed to outshine her father, not allowed to film what she wanted to (she was offered many varied roles such as the role of Lolita but her parents always said no, which meant she was forever seen as the whimsical Pollyanna) and generally not celebrated. Meanwhile outside her family bubble she WAS being celebrated, she just didn't get a chance to join in. I'm not even going to mention the fact that this Oscar statue disappeared, Hayley went to America to film and on her return it was missing, and to this day nobody knows where it is.
Cheryl holderidge who was another mouseketeer played Wally's girlfriend on leave it to beaver and had guest starred on many sitcoms from the fifties and sixties.
