You do realize that the execs of 20th Century Fox also burst into tears 
when they realized that Shirley was growing up and no longer going to be 
able to singlehandedly keep their studio afloat.

Remember there was a big advertising blitz about the movie where Shirley 
receives her first kiss.  Nowadays former child actresses make their way 
into the adult world by flashing their hoo-haas getting out of cars.

Snide remarks censored.  But then again, Shirley was topless in her 
first movie at age 3.
