Her star shone brightest as a toddler, and 20th Century Fox cranked out a series of feature films with the adorable, talented little girl. At the box office, she beat out the great adult stars of her day, such as Clark Gable and Bing Crosby. Her popularity spawned a large array of merchandizing items, such as dolls, hats and dresses.
She was the top box-office star four years in a row, from to Her career was at its peak as the country was suffering the effects of the Great Depression, and her films offered uplifting moments. But as she got older, the pace of movies slowed, and by , her popularity was fading. She and 20th Century Fox terminated her contract early in , just before she reached her teenage years.
Share your memories of Shirley Temple Black. She retired from filmmaking at 22 and married Charles Black, changing her last name from Temple to Temple Black. She embarked on a new career as a foreign diplomat: She served in the U. Former U. President George H. Bush, who appointed her to the Czechoslovakia post, said Tuesday that he and his wife "mourn the loss of an American icon. A statement from Temple Black's family members said they "salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife of fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black.
She remained a cultural icon for decades after stepping down from the silver screen. In , she made a comeback as an entertainer, this time on television, in an hourlong show, "Shirley Temple's Storybook. When you hear the name Shirley Temple , you might think of an overly sweet mocktail you sipped when you were a kid, classic 20th-century films like "Bright Eyes," or songs like "On the Good Ship Lollipop.
Shirley Temple Black, originally Shirley Jane Temple, was born on April 23, , in Santa Monica, California, and she would die, at age 85, on February 10, , in Woodside, California, a few hours up the coast from where her life began via Biography. During her decades alive, Temple touched tens of millions of lives thanks to her early years on the screen, and tens of thousands more thanks to her work as an ambassador and a businesswoman.
She raised three children and remained married to her second husband, Charles Black, for 55 years until his death in Temple could easily have withdrawn from public life while still a young woman and lived out her days in comfort.
Instead, hers was a life with multiple chapters that, read as a whole, create as compelling a story as any movie in which she ever starred as a child. Here are 12 things you probably never knew about this superstar of a bygone time. Most people don't hit their stride in life until they are into their 30s, the decade by which the human brain is fully developed, according to Men's Health. At that point, the proverbial wild oats have been sown, and a career path is laid out or at least well-considered.
Shirley Temple's life and career hit full gear a bit earlier than that, though. According to People , she was learning to dance by age 3, and by the time she turned 4, she was already appearing on the screen. Temple's years of greatest success as a screen actress came between and , when she was between the ages of 6 and 9 years old. The film "Bright Eyes," released in late December , according to AFI , would rocket the young lady to international stardom, and for a while, she was a top box office draw and earner.
Inflation Calculator. But by the end of , her star was already fading, in the parlance of Hollywood. In , when Temple was 11 years old, her contract with Fox studios was cancelled, and though the actress would still make pictures, her heyday had come and gone. Despite being an absolute international superstar while a young child, Shirley Temple remained, of course, a child. Thus, she occasionally got herself into trouble as a result of an act of mischief.
Perhaps the most notable such act that Temple later owned up to in her own memoirs was one that involved the First Lady of the United States of America. Spotting an opportunity as Mrs. Roosevelt bent over to place some cuts of meat on the grill, Temple produced a slingshot, found a pebble, and fired it off, hitting the backside of the president's wife.
For this bit of indecency, Temple recalled receiving a spanking. In general, however, her relationship with her mother and father was warm, loving, and trusting, neither parent ever taking advantage of their child's stardom and never pushing her into roles or activities she did not herself embrace. Her father did manage to squander much of his daughter's earnings, which he was supposed to be managing, but this was due to well-meaning ineptitude, not any sort of corruption or greed.
Shirley Temple's hair was styled in the exact same manner for almost every one of her films, especially those of her three-year high-water mark from to The hairdo had exactly 56 curls, each and every one painstakingly created by Temple's mother, Gertrude Temple, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Her mother took on the role of stylist for Temple at the outset of the child's career and would stay on in that position for nearly every picture Shirley Temple starred in. According to Matchbook , Temple's hair was not actually all that curly, thus the use of those 56 curlers pinned in place before the night before every day of shooting.
Fans or detractors, to be more accurate often accused Temple of wearing a wig, with some people going so far as to grab and tug on the child's hair in an attempt to prove as much via The List.
The actress later said she wished her hair had been the result of a wig, as it would have spared her the many hours of discomfort that went into preparing her famous curly locks for each movie, but she confirmed that it was indeed her real hair. The actress' hair was a bright blond when she was young and slowly darkened over time as she grew older — whether Gertrude Temple delayed the visibility of this process with some peroxide is, however, unknown.
While the country was in the depths of the Great Depression, President Roosevelt referred to the child star as Little Miss Miracle and credited her with boosting the country's morale. By , Shirley was the biggest film star in America. That year she released some of her most beloved films, including Curly Top to The Littlest Rebel , and worked with some of the biggest names in the business.

One of Shirley's most well-known movies, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, was released in and was — no surprise — a box office hit. Here, she's seen arriving at the premiere of her film, The Little Princess , with her parents. Here, the actress chats with the visionary filmmaker and his unique Oscar, which boasted seven mini statues to represent the seven dwarfs. In , 20th Century Fox decided not to renew Shirley's contract. The actress was now a teenager and was walking the fine line between child and adult movie star.
At the age of 14, she began attending school in Los Angeles and worked on films, like Miss Annie Rooney , sporadically. Since You Went Away is widely recognized as Shirley's break away from her child star roles. In an effort to keep the spirits of soldiers up, Shirley arrived in New York in and visited Pennsylvania Station to greet fans in the service. In , Shirley announced her engagement to Sergeant Jack Agar. The couple met when the actress was 15 years old , but waited until she turned 17 to announce their impending nuptials.
