TCM ran the movie "The Vikings" the other night. It came out in the late 50's or early 60's I believe. I had seen it a couple of times but it has been a very long time.

I can't believe how sad I felt when I saw the headline that Shirley Temple Black has died. Her time as a movie star was long over before I knew who she was. I knew her through TV and what I read about her. I enjoyed seeing her movies on TV growing up. Maybe she represented a much more innocent...
