The Actress and Dedicated Mom

Who knew that watching a Shirley Temple movie at the age of 5, a little black girl from Denver would become interested in performing arts?

“Mommy, I can do that,” whispered Charmin to her mother. She wanted to be an actress like Shirley Temple, as they appeared to be close in age. There were no acting classes or schools near her home, so Charmin’s mother fed her creativity by enrolling her in ballet, tap and jazz classes. A few years later, the same little girl would also become interested in the talents of American jazz flutist Barbara “Bobbi” Humphrey. By the age of eight, Charmin was singing, playing the flute and performing creative dance.
