>>RIP Shirley Temple. She was born in Santa Monica, California in
>1928. Her
>>mother quickly saw her remarkable talent, and did all she could to
>develop
>>it, and to get her noticed. She enrolled her in a dance school,
>where she
>>amazed everyone with her dancing and singing abilities at such a
>young age.
>>
>>Her mother gave her a hair style imitative of that worn by Mary
>Pickford,
>>with exactly 56 "ringlets". She appeared in her first movies
>starting when
>>she was just shy of four years old, in a series called "Baby
>Burlesks" (she
>>had apparently failed an audition for the Our Gang series). She was
>paid $10
>>a day.
>>
>>In 1934, she signed a contract with Fox, and her career really took
>off. Her
>>big breakthrough came with Stand Up and Cheer!, where her singing
>and
>>dancing amazed the nation. But she proved she was a remarkably
>poised
>>actress that same year in Little Miss Marker and Baby Take a Bow,
>and Fox
>>rushed her into as many movies as they could.
>>
>>That same year she was in Now and Forever with Gary Cooper and
>Carole
>>Lombard (reportedly Cooper asked for her autograph when he met
>her!), and
>>soon after she starred in the series of juvenile musicals she is
>best
>>remembered for, films like Bright Eyes, The Little Colonel, Curly
>Top, Poor
>>Little Rich Girl, Wee Willie Winkie, Heidi, and many more.
>>
>>In the late 1930s, Fox (now 20th Century Fox) still had her in
>little girl
>>roles, even though she was rapidly maturing, and in 1939 MGM badly
>wanted
>>her for the lead in The Wizard of Oz, but 20th Century Fox refused
>to loan
>>her out, and instead put her in The Blue Bird, which did not do
>well.
>>
>>She left Fox, and began playing "teen" roles for various studios,
>but none
>>were very successful, and she made far fewer movies. In 1945, she
>married
>>actor John Agar, and they were married four years and had a child.
>In 1949,
>>they divorced, and a year later she married businessman Charles
>Black, and
>>retired from movies forever.
>>
>>She saved the Fox studio after the death of its previous greatest
>star, Will
>>Rogers in 1935. She was merchandised in a zillion ways, and
>countless girls
>>born in the late 1930s were named "Shirley".
>>
>>She became active in politics (she was a Republican, and was
>appointed to
>>several posts in the 1960s to 1990s). There has never been another
>child
>>actor with so much talent at such a young age, and she was surely
>the number
>>one child star of all time!
