When I was a child, she was my idol! In particularly I was a fan of her television series Shirley Temples Storybook.  Rest in peace, Shirley Temple. 
I remember hearing about Shirley Temple as far back as I can remember and seeing her movies on tv. I was never a big fan, really but now that I'm a father of a 2 year old daughter, I'd love to introduce Shirley Temple to my little princess, Nina. I wonder how she'll react to her movies and performances. When I think of Shirley Temple the little girl entertainer/star, I am saddened by her departure but she did live a long life which seemed to be very prosperous, productive and happy. Once again Shirley, Rest In Peace and God Bless You!

'' Alain Resnais, Acclaimed French Filmmaker, Is Dead at 91 '' http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/03/movies/alain-resnais-acclaimed-french-filmmaker-is-dead-at-91.html?ref=world Alain Resnais, the French filmmaker who helped introduce literary modernism to the movies and became an international art-house star with nonlinear narrative films like “Hiroshima Mon Amour” and “Last Year at Marienbad,” died on Saturday in Paris. He was 91.
His death was confirmed by the French president, François Hollande, who called Mr. Resnais one of France’s greatest filmmakers.
Although his name was often associated with the French New Wave directors — notably Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, whose careers coalesced around the same time his did — Mr. Resnais actually belonged to a tradition of Left Bank intellectualism that drew on more established, high-culture sources than the moviecentric influences of the New Wave. Where Godard’s 1960 film, “Breathless,” was a pastiche of low-budget American gangster films, Mr. Resnais’s breakthrough feature, “Hiroshima Mon Amour,” in 1959, took on two subjects weighted with social and political significance: the American nuclear destruction of Hiroshima, Japan, and the German occupation of France. R.I.P

There was a very nice obit of Hal Douglas in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/movies/hal-douglas-89-superstar-of-movie-trailer-narrators-dies.htmlThe flexibility of his voice, and the longevity of his career — he worked steadily until two years ago — made him a “one name” phenomenon in Hollywood, said Marice Tobias, a consultant and voice coach to many A-list actors. “When you go past superstar status, you reach icon status in this business, where people know you by one name only,” she said. “That was Hal.”
Mr. Douglas, who never lived in Hollywood, preferring to work from studios in New York, took a more relaxed view of his work. “I’m not outstanding in any way,” he told The New York Times in 2009. “It’s a craft that you learn, like making a good pair of shoes. And I just consider myself a good shoemaker.” R.I.P.
