What is "goldilocks"

Goldilocks \Gold"i*locks`\, n. Same as Goldylocks.

name for a person with bright yellow hair, 1540s, from adj. form of gold + lock in the hair sense. The story of the Three Bears first was printed in Robert Southey's miscellany "The Doctor" (1837), but the central figure there was a bad-tempered old woman. Southey did not claim to have invented the story, and older versions have been traced, either involving an old woman or a "silver-haired" girl (though in at least one version it is a fox who enters the house). The identification of the girl as Goldilocks is attested only from c.1875.

n. 1 A person with golden hair, especially a girl with long hair. 2 A (vern goldilocks aster pedia=1), (taxlink Aster linosyris species noshow=1).

n. early-flowering perennial of southern and southeastern Europe with flower heads resembling those of goldenrod [syn: goldilocks aster, Aster linosyris, Linosyris vulgaris]

A parody of the silent film era when directors made quickie one-reelers overnight, it focuses on Maggie Harris, a musical comedy star retiring from show business in order to marry into high society, until producer-director Max Grady arrives to remind her she has a contract to star in his film Frontier Woman. The two battle and slapstick situations ensue as the movie evolves into an epic about Ancient Egypt and filming extends well beyond the amount of time Grady promised it would take to make the movie.

Goldilocks is a half-hour musical animated film, the audio tracks for which were recorded in the summer of 1969, produced strictly for television in 1970 by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (known for their work on The Pink Panther, of which the animation style is strongly reminiscent) and produced with the assistance of Mirisch-Geoffrey Productions.

Goldilocks is a 12" soundtrack vinyl album taken from the TV film Goldilocks shown on NBC on March 31, 1970. It was first released in 1970 as DL-3511 by Decca Custom Records for a special promotion of Evans-Black Carpets by Armstrong. The album could be purchased for $2.25. When the promotion period had expired, the album was re-released by Disneyland Records as ST-3889 with an accompanying 12-page storybook. The recording is particularly important to the Bing Crosby career as he recorded commercial tracks in every year from 1926 to 1977 and this album represents his only recording work for 1969.

The film starred Bing Crosby (as himself); Kathryn Crosby (as herself); Mary Frances Crosby (as herself and as Goldilocks); Nathaniel Crosby (as himself and Baby Bear); Paul Winchell (Narrator, Bob Cat, Forest Animals) and Avery Schreiber (Forest Animals). All the songs were written by Robert and Richard Sherman and the music was arranged by Doug Goodwin. The film was sponsored by Evans-Black Carpets. Songs and selected dialogue clips were included in the soundtrack album along with narration by famed voice-over actor Paul Winchell.

Ralph Harding writing in "The Crosby Collector" described the LP as: "The record album is a two-sleeved effort and extremely attractive with the whole of the centre, a fold of approximately 12.75" by 25" taken up with no less than 18 beautifully coloured shots from the color TV production."
