This Month’s issue dedicated to Shirley Temple Black
"I used to think that I was unique in feeling that I was without a childhood. I believed that indeed there were
only a handful with whom I could share those feelings. When I recently met with Shirley Temple Black, the
great child star of the 1930s and 40s, we said nothing to each other at fi rst, we simply cried together, for she
could share a pain with me that only others like my close friends Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin know.
I do not tell you this to gain your sympathy but to impress upon you my first important point : it is not just
Hollywood child stars that have suffered from a non-existent childhood. Today, it's a universal calamity, a
global catastrophe." - Michael Jackson
