Ashley Orr's Star Is Rising

Ashley Rose Orr's portrayal of Shirley Temple in the Wonderful World of Disney's movie "Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story" was marvelous. Her vocal inflection, mannerisms and endearing smile brought a glowing charm to the screen and the character. Her dance sequences with Broadway veteran Hinton Battle were beautifully staged and accurately executed; dazzling to watch. What an achievement for such a talented young actress!!! We can only hope to see her in another production soon! To Disney's new rising star... Brava!!! Encore!!!
