Shirley Temple - MovieActors.com

Shirley Temple was an incredibly popular child star of the 1930's. The American public loved her with an intensity that is probably not possible to understand it today.

Her defining role was in THE LITTLE COLONEL. Shirley's other notable films include: CURLY TOP, LITTLE MISS MARKER, and HEIDI.

Some people believe Shirley Temple was as popular as she was because she gave the public hope and entertainment during the depression. Shirley Temple went on to some grownup roles, a TV show, and a career in politics.
