Happy Birthday Shirley Temple!!!All those who are fans of Shirley Temple raise your hand. I grew up watching old Shirley Temple movies and will always be a huge fan of the adorable curly topped little personality that she brought to so many great films. So today being her birthday I thought I would dedicate this post to her. Shirley Jane Temple (born April 23, 1928) began her career as a toddler of just the age of three back in 1932.

“I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.” ~ Shirley Temple BlackThat’s how famous this little girl was in 1934, she had skyrocketed to super stardom in Bright Eyes and her fame and popularity would only grow over the next few years during the Great Depression. 
By 1935, she was Hollywood’s top box office draw, beating out film stalwarts Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Myrna Loy and Joan Crawford, and her perch on top of the Hollywood heap would continue for the following three years.

Born in California in 1928, the tiny tot signed on at 20th Century-Fox in early 1934 at the ripe old age of five. Fame and accolades soon followed, with Temple receiving a special Oscar in 1935 for her contribution to film the previous year blockbusting super hits such as Curly Top and Heidi.
