The Telegraph, Calcutta, India

Saturday, February 11, 2006

I used to be a very naughty child. My homework was inevitably neglected. At the last moment I would realise that it was not done, so I would look to Pooja (sister) for help. She has bailed me out of such predicaments many a time. Being the youngest one, I was very pampered. Yet I was ready to break the rules. Often, I was at the receiving end of spankings from my parents. Pooja often made sure that she took half the blame and saved my skin. Then there were parties and outings which I didn’t want to miss. But my parents wouldn’t allow me if exams were drawing near. It was Pooja then who’d do the talking and convince them otherwise.

Ali MacGraw - In her autobiography, Moving Pictures (page 40), the American actress explains that she and her brother were spanked by their father, and that: "I received my share of those spankings," and felt: "Literally sick to the stomach with fear," when she was going to be spanked.

He said: 'If anyone's going to punish her, I will, because I know how hard to hit her.' " Gales of laughter. "Dad was very strict. A liberal person but really, really strict at home. I used to get punished severely. In Africa you don't talk back. You show your elders respect. It's tradition. It's not like here where you get a slap. Over there, out came the ruler or the slipper."

When she returns home, her grandmother asks her to take off the smock so she can wash it. Amália is embarassed and, feigning surprise, simply says: “Gosh! I’ve lost my dress!” Her grandmother’s reaction is to give her a spanking as she bellows: “Aren’t you the rich young lady, giving away your dresses!”

Alfre Woodard - On the USA TODAY website, Oct 29, 2005, talking about her role as Betty Applewhite in the TV series Desperate Housewives, the following was mentioned.

As a 5-year-old, she once smoked a cigarette her brother found in the dirt. During a game of Cowboys and Indians, she tied up her sister — and threw lit matches near her feet. Twice, she feigned death after rough-housing with her siblings. "We got spanked every day," she recalls. "Our parents spanked us. The neighbors spanked us. If they were spanking one of us, they'd tell the other, 'C'mon, let me get you now because I know I'm going to have to spank you before the day is over.'"

Anna Massey - In an article serialising her book, Telling Some Tales, The Daily Mail, April 15 2006, the British actress spoke very fondly of her Nanny, Gertrude Burbridge, and the love, care and discipline she`d given her growing up.

The Daily Mail, April 15 2006

With my parents wrapped up in their own worlds, I turned elsewhere for the care and love and warmth that I yearned for. The woman who provided them was my nanny, Gertrude Burbridge.

For more than 30 years, continuing into my adult life, Nanny was the mainstay of my existence. She joined our family when my brother Daniel was three weeks old, and stayed with us for the rest of her days. Her constancy and devotion held me together until her death.

Nanny was everything to me - my world at our home in Mayfair centred entirely on the day and night nurseries, where she ruled her tiny kingdom.

She did absolutely everything for my brother and me, washing and ironing our clothes with unimaginable delicacy, serving meticulously prepared meals of fish poached in milk, and decorating my hair with exquisite miniature bows.

She had an ample bosom into which we could snuggle on the nights when we had earache (a malady from which I suffered frequently as a child) and she was overwhelmingly reassuring. You knew she would always be there.

She was also a strict disciplinarian, and our manners had to be perfect. I had the most terrible temper as a child - once, in a shoe shop in Sloane Square, I kicked a shoe right up to the top of a cupboard - and was regularly given a spanking with a hairbrush.

Beverly Knight - In an article in The Sunday Times Magazine, May 7 2006, the British singer recalled her strict upbringing and specifically a time when she was "Smacked" by her father for missing an 8:15 curfew.

The Sunday Times Magazine, May 7 2006

I was raised in a strict way but I wanted to push the parameters. Mum would say be home by 8.15, but I remember one time I was late, and she was waiting to go to work. She met me in the street and sent me home, with the fear of Dad. Yes, I got smacked. I never did that again. But what superseded any rebelliousness was respect. If I brought the cops to the door — unthinkable! Not just the shame on my family, but on the entire black population of Wolverhampton, and beyond.

Brigitte Bardot - The French actress admitted in a biography that as a youngster she was often caned, and also refers to once receiving fifty whacks for breaking a vase of her mother`s. The same story was also told by a French journalist on a TV documentary called The Real Brigitte Bardot.

No matter how miserably I failed, she was always there for me. I might fail in a movie, but when it comes to being a real person, I get my sense of respect and dignity from my mother. When I was growing up she never hesitated to spank me if I deserved it, and I feel completely blessed to have been brought up that way. She's my support system and my voice of reason."

In the October 2005 issue of Premier magazine The South African actress once again referred to the strict upbringing she received from mother Gerda, and defended the sound spankings she received for misbehaviour.

Premiere magazine (USA) October 2005

Women in Hollywood: Charlize Theron interview page 81 Paragraphs 4, 5 & 6

"There was a certain amount of discipline that came with the way I was raised. You didn`t break things that were not yours; you didn`t wreck a room. My mom and I watch this Nanny 911 show together and I said to her "I'm so calling the authorities on you for how you raised me." Then I think about it and I've got to say there was a boundary that always made me feel safe. I really always knew that from a very very early age - that's wrong and don't you ever do that again. And God I was spanked. I was more than spanked - I was whipped. Definitely (with) whatever was around" "I went to school one time with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse engraved welts on my thighs from a hanger that my mom grabbed that had all these little Disney cartoon characters cut out in it. It boiled down to respect - my mom was taking care of everything and running a business at the same time and there were never any nannies or anything like that. She was doing laundry and cooking three meals a day and - I remember it so vividly, I came home from school and she said, "Change your uniform before you have lunch." and I was like "Oh I'll just take a quick bite of this tomato soup" And I drizzled it all over. She was busy ironing and she had all the hangers stacked up. It was so quick - a couple of swipes on the thighs. I remember going to school showing off my war wounds to my friends." "I think that that's different than beating a child, which shouldn't happen or spanking a child unnecessarily. But let me tell you at that age I knew I was wrong - because I was for sure not washing my own clothes; my mom was doing that. Then look at the relationship I have with her today. That's a testament for my whole argument right there."

Charlotte Ayanna - In her biography, Lost in the System, on pages 46 & 47, the former Miss Teen USA and American actress, mentions being spanked "really hard" with a paddle on her bare bottom when she misbehaved growing up in foster care.

Now we live in a day where if you spank your kid on the butt you're going to get sued."

Don't ground your kid for a month because that means you have to stay home for a month with them. And, you know, as they're littler, it might translate differently. But she would just take that time to count to 10 before the punishment so that it was appropriate and that it was, you know."
"The thing about spanking for us, again, she didn't do it in the moment. She would say go to your room, you're going to get a spanking. And that 15 minutes of waiting for the spanking, that's when you really thought -- it was totally humiliating. It wasn't so much -- she didn't beat us. But it was like that humiliation and the waiting for the punishment. And I think that was the time that you kind of actually really thought about what you did wrong."

Mail on Sunday Night & Day magazine, April 17 2005

Faith was born to single mother Helene Evans in Florida, but raised by her grandparent Bob & May in Newark, New Jersey. Her mother attempted a singing career, but never really made it. She dipped in and out of her daughter`s life. Faith never knew her father.

She remembers a loving, strict though somewhat dysfunctional childhood. Her grandparents, both devout Baptists, were also foster parents, and at any one time there were 14 people living under a roof more suited to four.

`There were only three bedrooms so my grandfather divided the basement into three seperate little bedrooms and made the back porch into a bedroom,` she says. `They were very strict. We had to go to prayer service and bible study and Sunday school as well as church services. We had to eat together every day and pray in our kitchen on a Sunday morning before breakfast.

`There were some church doctrines that I disagreed with. For example, girls weren`t allowed to wear trousers. But I never saw how that could make you have a bad heart. Also, if the radio was on, my grandparents would say it was "devil music". We`d get smacked for talking back. My grandfather would be the one to take off that alligator belt and beat your behind. Yeah, there was a lot of discipline and lots of things I wouldn`t do to my own children.

`I use discipline sparingly. I don`t beat my children. They`ve had a couple of spankings, but I don`t tell them to pick a branch off a tree to spank them with.

`So they were strict, but with 13 foster kids there was no way of controlling everything that went on in the house.`
