It could happen to you..

Shirley Temple

* April 23, 1928

Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1972.

Had a radical mastectomy - and fully recovered.

Was one of the first prominent persons to speak openly about the disease.

Hey it's post #100...Let's celebrate with some classic stars festive photos...

To mark this special occasion, I told Irene I would be posting photos of classic stars doing some celebrating of their own. So without further adieu, here we go.

Esther Williams clowning around...

It's Judy's birthday....

Ava Gardner

Randolph Scott, Nancy Carroll, and Cary Grant

Brigitte Bardot

Music if you please Ms. Dietrich...

Nice cake Sandra...

Big enough knife there Ginger?

Looks like Norma is telling Jean..."Be careful honey!"

And finally Shirley Temple....awwww!

Happy 100th Post to And Then They Start To Sparkle!
