My moms husband, my father-in-law, Bob Shults was in the Shirley Temple movie "Seabiscuit." At 4'11" and 95 pounds he was a young Jockey back in those days. In the right place at the right time to earn him a spot on one of the horses in the movie, in the photo shoot, and pictured on the inside cover of the Seabiscuit CD. http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20030729/BIZ/307299998 (http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20030729/BIZ/307299998) http://tdn.com/news/state-and-regional/medford-jockey-was-in-original-seabiscuit-movie/article_411b102a-fcc9-5447-a316-485fffaad20a.html (http://tdn.com/news/state-and-regional/medford-jockey-was-in-original-seabiscuit-movie/article_411b102a-fcc9-5447-a316-485fffaad20a.html) Title: Re: Shirley Temple dead at 85 Post by: emilyB on 02 11, 14, 11:01:44:PM There will never be a child star just like she was. She was unique and she will live on for every child's entertainment. RIP.
Title: Re: Shirley Temple dead at 85 Post by: pacifica on 02 11, 14, 11:15:22:PM I see Shirley was born in good old Santa Monica and died in Woodside -- I looked up-- inland from Half Moon Bay S.of Redwood City. I'm sure it's beautiful up there. Jim it's a small world.: ]. From Em Avon calling Mickey Rooney's mother who my Dad met a few times and your Bob who was in Seabiscuit also probably knows/met as Santa Anita was M.R.'s very favorite track - and probably bet on or owned horses that your Mom's husband rode, I clicked on your links.....and bookmarked!! What a darling man your F.I.L.. Kind of looks like my pop only Dad, also a retired Jockey, is 5'3" and his lowest weight ever riding was 103 (when he first started) but was usually around 112 in those days.
