Whew! These recent Connection Combats have been getting hooked up super quickly. Here's an extra one for this weekend. Did you know that the producers of The Wizard of Oz wanted Shirley Temple in the role of Dorothy, but she was unavailable, so it was offered to Judy Garland?
Shirley Temple's profile is here, and here is Judy Garland's. Both are open. Which classic child Hollywood star will be the winner?
Rules are here, and remember to post here when you make a connection so we can crown the winner!
Well, I tried waiting a respectable interval of three days, and then I couldn't help myself. I think I'm addicted. Is there a support group?
Shirley Temple -> her husband Charles Black -> his mother Katherine (McElrath) Black -> her mother Elsie (Alden) McElrath -> her father Solomon Ellsworth Alden, who is 23 steps from AJ.
I think that's three straight rounds of "never mind, let's try the spouse," but we did add several ancestors for Shirley.
I found some of Judy Garland's relatives languishing in my Unconnected People list, and found a connection for her through the Westmore family of makeup artists.
