Mary Haydock, now formally known as Mary Reibey was born on the 12th May 1777 (source 1) and was raised by her grandmother after both her parents died when Mary was of a young age. Mary was convicted of horse stealing at the age of 13 and was to be sent to Australia for seven years (source 1).

Instead of exposing her daughter to the publicity and press that comes with movie stardom, Temple’s mother allowed her to express her own opinions and protected her from the pressures of fame (Dubas 30-32). As Temple was quickly thrust into a career as a young actress, her family continued to support her.

Personally, I am of German and Scottish descent. An overwhelming heavy majority of my ancestry is German, while a miniscule amount is Scottish. My father is 100% German in ancestry, while my mother is almost completely German as well, but keeps a tad of Scottish ancestry. Both my last name, Janke, and my mother’s maiden name, Pfeil, are originally of German descent and meaning. Particularly, the name Pfeil is a direct translation from the German language meaning “arrow”. Although I do not know my blood family’s genealogical lineage at this time, I do know that of my step-father.

Roosevelt referred to me as "Little Miss Miracle" for raising the public's morale during the hard times of The Great Depression, even going so far as to say, "As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right." My song-and-dance routine to the tune "On the Good Ship Lollipop" in 1934's Bright Eyes earned me a special Academy Award, for "Outstanding Personality of 1934."

When she came to America, she didn’t have much family support. She stayed at my grandparents’ house in Brockton. She was looked down upon by my grandfather for having a child before being married. Instead, she would take a trip to New York every weekend, where her sister lived, to avoid the negativity. Growing

My mother was an alcoholic who would soon be in prison, my father was not yet an American citizen, and my parents were in the midst of a divorce. Instead of allowing my sister and I to be split up and sent to separate foster homes, my grandparents brought us into their home for what was intended to be a temporary length of time. This temporary length of
