WE SALUTE YOU SHIRLEY TEMPLE, A HOLLYOOD LEGEND SHIRLEY TEMPLE DIES AT THE AGE OF 85




RIP SHIRLEY TEMPLE!

Shirley Temple the most famous child star of all time and box office gold for 4 years died today leaving her fans with the memories and magic of the Good Ship Lollipop, Curly Top, and Captain January.


Shirley Temple was the most famous child star of all time. Also called America’s little sweetheart. President Roosevelt famously said “As long as we have Shirley Temple, we will be fine”.

She was credited with helping save the film company 20th Century Fox, which owed $42million, from bankruptcy.

In Britain, the young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, were avid Temple fans.

She even had a drink named after her, an appropriately sweet and innocent cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.

Her career faltered in 1939 after Fox refused to loan her to MGM, she lost the lead in The Wizard of Oz to Judy Garland.  

She became the youngest actor ever to win an Academy Juvenile Award in 1935, at the age of six.

Her handprints were placed in cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood along with the biggest stars of the day.

She was the world's number one box-office star from 1935 to 1938 - leaving Clark Gable trailing in second place.

 


The Most Icon Dance Scene During The Golden Age Of Hollywood
=> Shirley Temple broke the mold as well as the only leading lady to dance with a black actor during the times of Shirley Temple. Fox so sure of her star power took the risk and casting the best tap dancer in showbiz Billy Bojangles Robinson, whom she could call "uncle Billy" and they partnered in 4 movies together, become her most most famous leading man.
