Not many people know, but deep down inside, despite not agreeing much with Shirley Temple Black on politics, I still see her as a successful child actor who served her country as well in the most unusual of ways. Well, it turns out that her Twitter handle was a hoax (although I hope to see her actually on Twitter soon!)
But she's not the only celebrity that has gotten the hoax treatment. In 2009, Canandian Minister of Transport John Baird found out his cat, Thatcher, had passed away. Said cat was named after the Iron Lady (Phil Paige, take note!) Well, one thing leads to another, you have a trans-Atlantic crisis and some top officials having a heck of a lot of explaining to do. Sure, Baroness Thatcher is not as mentally with us as we would like, but she is still a symbol of a nation that has endured painful change since World War II. Thatcher is still a highly regarded figure in the U.K.
Well, someone who is VERY with us, albeit not publicly, is Shirley Temple Black, the famed child actress-turned mom-turned foreign service officer (FSO) who was thought to have started her own Twitter page. And everyone thought it was neat.
The jury is out: Turns out someone hacked someone's pages and made it hers. Even people "in the know" were fooled.
Lesson learned: listen to the Real McCoy. But when you're a partial recluse, it's hard.
