Sally was ten when she made herself a movie star. As big a star as either Esther Williams or Margaret O'Brien, for whom she dreamed up some of her best stories.

Sally would never have had to leave New Jersey to reach stardom except that in 1947 her older brother Douglas became ill, so the Freedman family traveled south to spend eight months in the sunshine of Florida. That's where Sally met her friends Andrea, Barbara and Shelby Peter and Georgia Blue Eyes—and her unsuspecting enemy Adolf Hitler.
