Shirley Temple Black has Died

She had an important life after her film career too. She has grandkids and I'm sure everyone is crushed.
 
She had a wonderful full life and gave back by taking on a distinguished role in the political arena. She goes to prove that just because you are a film star and make a great deal of money you don't have to go off the rails as so many before have done and are no longer here.
 
I'm sure that I've seen most of Shirley Temple's films, but my favorites include "Heidi", "A Little Princess", and "Kathleen".

Thank you, Shirley Temple, for bringing hope and joy to millions in times of great turmoil. Rest in peace :rose:

A little girl that made millions smile during the Great Depression. A very together woman who set a wonderful example of what a celebrity can accomplish with the gifts they were given.

We were at opposite sides of the political arena, but I always admired Shirley Temple Black.

Rest In Peace and thanks for the memories. Her movies were on TV all the time when I was a kid and I just loved them.
 
Thank You Shirley Temple & Mr. Robinson

Shirley Temple Dies at 85

Snipped:

Temple's mother, Gertrude, worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by fame and was a constant presence during filming. Her daughter said years later that her mother had been furious when a director once sent her off on an errand and then got the child to cry for a scene by frightening her. "She never again left me alone on a set," she said.

Temple became a nationwide sensation. Mothers dressed their little girls like her, and a line of dolls was launched that are now highly sought-after collectables. Her immense popularity prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to say that "as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right."

Shirley Temple's Charm Was a Combination of Spontaneity and Timing

Her fans even included the very formal first lady of the land. Invited to Eleanor Roosevelt's Hyde Park, N.Y., home in 1935, little Shirley practiced some high jinks learned for the movie The Littlest Rebel – and hit Mrs. Roosevelt in the backside with her slingshot.

"I'm still a good shot," Temple said with a laugh years later.

:giggle:

You will truly be missed, Shirley!

I so loved watching her movies when I was little. They were played on tv every Saturday back in the 60s. I can still hear her singing, The Good Ship Lollipop!

Shirley Temple Profile

During the Depression in the 1930s, Americans turned to the motion pictures for escape and inspiration. One of the decades biggest stars was a cute little tyke with curly blonde hair and a slightly sing-song voice named Shirley Temple. It is easy to overlook just how good an actress she was, without peer in her ability to portray sentiment without losing a childlike quality. Temple could hold her own with the strongest actors and proved to be a genuine talent, one who could sing and tap dance as well as emote...
