“Shirley came into Westlake School for Girls as a freshman. It was her first experience with other students, as she was tutored at Fox Studio[s] earlier.

We became friends and she was great fun.

It was Shirley’s first time with a uniform dress code and no lipstick was allowed. She joined the drill team and I was the captain. While we were at Westlake we did the film ‘Miss Annie Rooney,’ and Shirley had her first screen kiss on screen.

She was one of a kind and will be missed.” (Patrick T. Fallon / Los Angeles Times)
