Child star is a book which is too painful to read
"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 first, we simply cried together, for she could share a pain with me that only others like my close friends Elizabeth Taylor and McCauley Culkin know.'' ~ Michael Jackson
Michael had a collection of Shirley Temple photos at Neverland , and would have posters of Shirley Temple put up in his hotel rooms whilst on tour.
