8．I don't know much about Shirley Temple's home life or background except that I have been almost in her shoes．I know that that little girl worked hours and hours．Every mother wanted their daughter to be Shirley Temple then．I had very straight hair and my mother used to drive me crazy curling my hair so that I could look like Shirley Temple．Didn't work!
I started working at 7 as an extra in Somebody up There Likes Me．It was exciting!Over my career，I've worked with people spanning five generations，including Laurence Olivier and Richard Burton．They are very kind to child actors and give me a lot of love．
I used to say I'd never put a kid in show business．Child actors get very over-proud because they are paid special kind of attention，and then the kid grows up and that goes away．They are too young to adjust to that．Luckily for me，I may be an exception．But sometimes I really hoped that I had not started my career young．
The child stars who are in their early 20s break my heart．I've followed just as a viewer what has been happening with them and I understand their pressures．Faced with gossips of all kinds on Facebook or Twitters，we like to say"We don't pay any attention to any of that，''but that's not true．We're people．When somebody says something about you，it hurts．
As a child，I idolized Shirley the movie star．My favorite Shirley Temple movies were the ones that had her incredible singing and dancing，but then she'd do a scene that was serious and I would be sobbing for days．The mold had been broken．There was only one Shirley Temple．But look，she'll live on：when we go to a restaurant，my grandchildren order a Shirley Temple．
