Enthralled and bewitched by it, I couldn't tell my 4 old sibs nor parents that I was in love at 7, for the first time to my first crush from this film? Shirley Jones? NO! Susan Luckey! To this day I recall every time I see it, how my lil 7yr old body reacted by instinct. How wonderfully confusing that was to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925786689777981644noreply@blogger.com
