Behind the scenes

Shirley Temple was an actress and later politician and diplomat. Her career has not been mentioned in DWU sources.

Melanie Bush believing her mother had an image of her as a "little Shirley Temple" in Business Unusual ^[+]Loading...["Business Unusual (novel)"] is a possible reference to Bonnie Langford's own career as a child star. At the age of six, Langford was entered onto the talent show Opportunity Knocks, after a stage performance of "On the Good Ship Lollipop", Shirley Temple's signature song. Langford went on to win the show, which resulted in the British press referring to her as "the new Shirley Temple".
