1. "The Bluebird"
I like "The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxer" too though.

And even though it's terribly racist by today's standards, I also like "The Littlest Rebel".

Actually, I pretty much like all of her movies, some more than others though.

I asked my dad who was a kid in the 1930's if she was really as popular as they say or if it was a case of the parents liking her but kids not so much. He said no, she really was popular with kids too because she always had adventures and because she was a little bit sassy.

2. NONE!!!
She could dance, but she couldn't act, or sing.

Like Danny Bonaduce said, "If you're cute, and you suck, once you aren't cute, you still suck."

And she was just plain SHITTY in the "Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer" movie.

Not only that, she ran for congress, back in the Vietnam war days, as a pro-war candidate.
TOTAL right-winger.

3. She became more moderate with age though
She was pro-choice for one thing. Also, she opposed the Clinton impeachment.

4. The Little Colonel
Racist as all get out, but an opportunity to see the great Bill "Bojangles" Robinson do his great stair routine.
