Book excerpt: When Mary Lee first met Jack Milroy it wasn't exactly love at firs sight. She was an established star and had sung with Britain's biggest big bands and he was just starting to make his name on his return from the Second World War. But, after a rocky beginning, Mary and Jack became firm friends and romance was soon to follow... Mary Lee and Jack Milroy were both brought up in ordinary working-class families in the Glasgow tenements and went on to achieve fame and fortune on the stage and screen. But, while Mary decided to put family life ahead of showbiz for a time, Jack established himself as one of Scotland's biggest stars, most memorably as Francie to Rikki Fulton's Josie. And they were so popular that if you wanted the kids to come in for their tea, all you had to do was shout, 'Francie and Josie are on the television!' Forever Francie tells the story of Mary Lee and Jack Milroy's life and career together and is an intimate and nostalgic account of one of Scotland's most prominent showbiz couples. It is also the story of how their marriage endured through good times and bad and of the genius that was Jack Milroy, a natural born performer who will be, for Mary Lee, Forever Francie.

Download or read book Fantasies of Neglect written by Pamela Robertson Wojcik and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our current era of helicopter parenting and stranger danger, an unaccompanied child wandering through the city might commonly be viewed as a victim of abuse and neglect. However, from the early twentieth century to the present day, countless books and films have portrayed the solitary exploration of urban spaces as a source of empowerment and delight for children. Fantasies of Neglect explains how this trope of the self-sufficient, mobile urban child originated and considers why it persists, even as it goes against the grain of social reality. Drawing from a wide range of films, children’s books, adult novels, and sociological texts, Pamela Robertson Wojcik investigates how cities have simultaneously been demonized as dangerous spaces unfit for children and romanticized as wondrous playgrounds that foster a kid’s independence and imagination. Charting the development of free-range urban child characters from Little Orphan Annie to Harriet the Spy to Hugo Cabret, and from Shirley Temple to the Dead End Kids, she considers the ongoing dialogue between these fictional representations and shifting discourses on the freedom and neglect of children. While tracking the general concerns Americans have expressed regarding the abstract figure of the child, the book also examines the varied attitudes toward specific types of urban children—girls and boys, blacks and whites, rich kids and poor ones, loners and neighborhood gangs. Through this diverse selection of sources, Fantasies of Neglect presents a nuanced chronicle of how notions of American urbanism and American childhood have grown up together.
