DEAR GOMES:
My beloved Lakers have had such a bad season! After making a late push in the playoffs last season, I had such high hopes for this year. When do you think Kobe is going to be back? What if he never recovers?! What’s going to happen to my Lakers? Will we ever win another championship?!

Famed former child star Shirley Temple Black died on Monday, February 10. She was 85. She began her film career in 1932 at only three years old, starring in small, low budget features and cereal advertisements and found international fame in 1934 after signing a contract with 20th Century Fox and starring in “Bright Eyes.” “Bright Eyes” was created especially for Temple to showcase her singing and dancing talents — at only six years old, she was not only a performer for a major film studio, but a headliner! She was probably the youngest actress to have her name headlining a film.
