Shirley Temple, MGM Casting Couch Story

An archival clip of Shirley Temple Black features her recounting a disturbing experience at MGM when she was 12 years old. She describes being separated from her mother and sent into the office of producer Arthur Freed, who exposed himself to her. Simultaneously, her mother was dealing with unwanted advances from studio head Louis B. Mayer, leading them both to decide that Fox was a better environment than MGM.
