I used to Drink Shirley Temples when I was a kid

Shirley Temple's 1937 version of Heidi was a holiday favorite when I was a kid. And a great cast accompanying her: Jean Hersholt as Heidi's grandfather, Arthur Treacher, and Mary Nash as the truly rotten Fräulein Rottenmeier. I've always considered it her best film, a classic and well done adaption of the famous story.

She died on Monday at home in Woodside, California

I grew up in Woodside. Many many, very very wealthy folk live there. Old money mansions too! Look up the FILOLI (FIdelity, LOve, LIfe) estate. Used to play there as a kid. Awesome gardens. Kitchen was bigger than my current house. Or the Old Tripp Store, my house was 1/4 mile from it. It was my grade school bus stop...
Beautiful town, lotsa redwoods, Oak, bay trees...Some areas looked like the Ewoks home forest...
bloody costly tho! 1/4 acre, bare dirt, totally empty, no services lot, $1.0 MILLION in 2006...can't afford the place now, altho my folks still live there, far as I know...

Anyway, sorry to see her go, altho she turned into a royal b#$%h later in life...
