not the little princess im afraid....that was shirley temple too...
i recall the shoebox as being pivotal and think it might have been that they identified her to adopt her by a family or her famiy membbrs by what was in the box? this has driven me nuts for years....

I think the actress was Sybil Jason, she was around the same time as Shirley Temple. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
