Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four.

Much as I love Katie for her skills, presence, and beauty (and for the mental images she has gifted me by being bi), I don't think that's a solid argument. Just look at what Mozart was also accomplishing at four.

Not much, actually. The music he's famous for was composed much later.
I guess I was thinking of somebody else then.
"It is sobering to consider that when Mozart was my age he had already been dead for a year."

No, Mozart is the right guy. He was performing for royalty when he was like five. I think anonymous just meant his more famous work came later.
Yes. It's still amazing that he was composing anything that young, but his reputation was built on later work.
