Shirley Temple would suffer numerous forms of abuse throughout her career. As a child, if she acted up, she would be forced sit in a black windowless box on an ice block, eventually giving her an ear infection which she needed surgery for; she was forced to work through a sprained ankle; and had to wash her hair in vinegar every night, which burned her eyes; one time, when they needed her to cry for a role, they told her that her mother had been kidnapped by a green man with red eyes, and that she'd never see her again.
At the age of three, she stared in something called Baby Burlesks, where she played a lady of the night called Charlemagne, excepting lollipops in exchange for kisses.
At the age of 12, she got flashed by (((Arthur Freed))), who went on to produce Singing in the Rain. All she did was giggle in confusion, so Freed kicked her out in a fit of rage. When Shirley told her mother what had happened, she explained that at the same moment, she had been in the adjacent room parrying the unwanted sexual advances and gropes of MGM studio boss, (((Louis B. Mayer))). The movie they were auditioning for was The Wizard of Oz; Judy Garland would end up being subjected to sexual harassment at the hands of Mayer.
At the age of 17, she got locked in a room by a naked (((David O. Selznick))), (produced Gone With the Wind) who chased her around and tried to rape her.
At the age of 35 she nut-shotted, comedian, George Jessel for groping her.
She left acting and became a diplomat, serving throughout her career as a US Representative to the UN, US Ambassador to Ghana, Chief of Protocol for the White House and US Ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
