We 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 for 55 years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black,” the statement said. Temple starred in 14 short films, 43 feature films and over 25 storybook movies in a career that spanned from 1931 until 1961.

The curly-haired actress found success in films like 1934’s Bright Eyes and Stand Up and Cheer!, 1935’s Curly Top and 1937’s Heidi. She received a special Juvenile Academy Award in February 1935 for her outstanding contribution as a juvenile performer to motion pictures during 1934. She left the film industry in 1950 at the age of 22 but returned to show business in 1958 with a two-season television anthology series of fairy tale adaptations. Temple also made guest appearances in television shows in the early 1960s and filmed a sitcom pilot that was never released. In 1967, she ran unsuccessfully for United States Congress, and was appointed United States Ambassador to Ghana in 1974 and to Czechoslovakia in 1989. UPDATE: SAG-AFTRA released the following statement on the death of Shirley Temple Black: Shirley Temple Black, the 42nd Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement honoree, died Monday at the age of 85.

Black captivated the world as no other child star has done before or since, and then went on to serve her country as an eminent diplomat over more than three decades. SAG-AFTRA President Ken Howard said, “Shirley was a terrific actor whose vibrancy and brilliance set audiences on fire at a crucial time in our nation’s history. More important, she was a conscientious and caring citizen whose work on behalf of her union and her country exemplified true service. She’ll be greatly missed by so many, but never forgotten. “She was a true icon of the entertainment industry and beloved of our her colleagues in the acting profession. Shirley simply epitomized the word “star”. There are few more deserving of her accolades and I am personally so pleased that she was a recipient of our Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.” In accepting her 2005 award from the union, Black said, “I’m indeed honored to receive the Life Achievement Award from my peers When I was three years old, I was delighted to be told that I was an actress, even though I didn’t know what an actress was.

“I’d been blessed with three wonderful careers: motion pictures and television, wife, mother and grandmother, and diplomatic services, for the United States government. I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the Life Achievement Award: start early!” (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Shirley Temple - IMDb IMDb Actress | Soundtrack | Writer Shirley Temple was easily the most popular and famous child star of all time.

 Black dead: Long Island remembers the 'Curly Top,' 'Heidi' child star | Newsday Shirley Temple Black dead: Long Island remembers the 'Curly Top,' 'Heidi' child star Updated February 11, 2014 2:43 PM By RAFER GUZMÁN rafer.guzman@newsday.com advertisement | advertise on newsday Shirley Temple Black, the child star whose dimpled face became a beacon of hope and good cheer during the Great Depression in such hit movies as "Bright Eyes," "Curly Top" and "Heidi," and later found a second career as a U.S.

diplomat, died Monday evening. She was 85. Publicist Cheryl Kagan said Temple died of natural causes surrounded by family at her home in Woodside, Calif. She had recently begun hospice care, according to her nephew, Richard Black. Most popular ‘AFI’: Veteran band shakes up their sound "We 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 for 55 years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black," read a statement from Temple's family. "We ask that our family be given the opportunity at this time to grieve privately." "I worked with her and she was nice little girl. She never grew up in my mind," says Jerry Schatz of Copiague, who co-starred with Temple in the 1936 film "Captain January." A starlet who made her screen debut in a diaper at 3, Temple was a studio-system dynamo who churned out more than 40 feature films, most of them before the age of 10. At 6, she became the first person to win a juvenile Oscar.

Her tiny handprints are in the cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre. By 9, she was America's top box-office draw -- outearning screen queens like Joan Crawford and Katharine Hepburn -- and was reportedly earning $125,000 per picture. Temple-branded merchandise, including dolls, dresses, mugs, dishes and soap, sold in the millions, doubling her income. Her total childhood fortune was an estimated $3 million -- roughly $45 million in today's dollars. Temple's success, however, was built on something deeper than popularity. At a time of crippling unemployment, soup kitchens and breadlines, Temple served as a symbol of youth, gaiety and sunny days ahead. She often played cuddly orphans whose cheery smile, playful pout or welling eyes melted frosty hearts.

In "Bright Eyes" (1934), she was the object of dueling foster parents; in "Captain January," a tyke torn from her adoptive father; in "Little Miss Broadway" (1938), an orphan who helps a troupe of show-biz folks pay the rent; and in "The Little Princess" (1939), a child who goes from riches to rags when her soldier father is believed dead. To moviegoers besieged by their own landlords and bill collectors, Temple sent the much-needed message that kindness, goodness and generosity always win the day. advertisement | advertise on newsday "As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we'll be all right," President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, according to lore. "It is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles." The little girl would later serve her country in another way. Unlike so many child stars, Temple grew into a serious and civic-minded woman drawn to politics.

In 1967, long after retiring from motion pictures and taking the name Shirley Temple Black (after her second husband), she ran for a seat in California's 11th congressional district. She lost, but two years later, in 1969, Temple was appointed representative to the 24th United Nations General Assembly by President Richard Nixon. CelebritiesShirley Temple through the years It was the start of an unlikely second career as a diplomat. Under President Gerald Ford, she served as U.S. Ambassador to Ghana from 1974 to 1976. Soon after, she became the first female chief of protocol, an advisory position to the president, vice president and secretary of state. Despite being a Republican, Temple oversaw arrangements for President Jimmy Carter's inauguration and inaugural ball. She served as the U.S. ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992, a turbulent period that marked the birth pangs of the Czech Republic. She also helped destigmatize breast cancer after being diagnosed with the disease and undergoing a mastectomy in 1972.

After the procedure, she gave a televised news conference from her hospital bed and later described her experience in McCall's magazine. "I did it because I thought it would help other women, my sisters," Temple later said. Though Temple found fans and autograph hounds in nearly every part of the world, she took her diplomatic duties seriously and seemed content to stay out of the limelight. "They've asked me to be in more movies, but I just say no thanks," she told the San Francisco Chronicle before receiving a 1998 Kennedy Center Honor. "My real love in life is to work with people, to be a negotiator for good," she said. "So being able to represent the United States has surpassed it all, in what I think has been a very good life." Temple was born April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica, Calif., to Gertrude Amelia Temple, a homemaker, and George Francis Temple, who worked at a bank. It was Gertrude who enrolled her daughter in a dance school, where she was spotted by Educational Pictures.

Temple's appearance in the studio's "Baby Burlesks" shorts -- in which tots were dressed up to spoof popular movies -- eventually led Temple into the major studio system. CelebritiesChild stars then and now Her first important feature, Fox Film's "Stand Up and Cheer!" (1934), was a morale-boosting effort about a U.S. president (Warner Baxter) who marshals the entertainment industry to pep up the country. Based on an idea by Will Rogers and featuring a 6-year-old Temple singing "Baby, Take a Bow," the movie set the tone for the tiny actress' coming career. advertisement | advertise on newsday Throughout the rest of the 1930s, Temple starred in as many as four movies a year. Temple sang the hit songs "On the Good Ship Lollipop" in "Bright Eyes" (1934) and "Animal Crackers in My Soup" in "Curly Top" (1935). She performed a spirited, perfectly synced tap dance on a staircase with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in "The Little Colonel" (1935), an early example of a white female dancing with a black male on screen.

Her 1937 film "Heidi" remains the definitive adaptation of the popular children's' book. As Temple's fame soared, a backlash was inevitable. In 1937, novelist and critic Graham Greene panned the Temple vehicle "Wee Willie Winkie" as something akin to kiddie porn, catering to an audience of "middle-aged men" who responded to Temple's "desirable little body." Greene found that he had tangled with the wrong moppet when Fox sued him for libel and won. At 20th Century Fox, Temple was an industry unto herself. On the lot, she had a private bungalow where she received visitors such as Amelia Earhart and Albert Einstein. Studio head Darryl F. Zanuck employed 19 writers called the Shirley Temple Story Development Team. He also hired a live-in bodyguard to tail the tot, even on family vacations. Gertrude Temple was paid $250 per week to accompany her daughter, and to hand twist and brush those precious curls -- always precisely 56 of them.

"I stopped believing in Santa Claus," Temple once said, "when my mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph." CelebritiesRecent notable deaths Yet by all accounts, Temple grew up humble and levelheaded. An early mentor at Fox, Edward Sheehan, provided Gertrude with valuable parenting advice, Temple recalls in her 1988 autobiography "Child Star." "She can't get spoiled, Mrs. Temple," Sheehan warned. "She gets spoiled, it shows in the eyes." As a result, Temple never saw her piles of fan mail, nor the toys sent by admirers, which mostly went to charity. When honors and accolades rolled in, Gertrude put them in perspective. advertisement | advertise on newsday "When I got the Academy Award, I asked her if I got it because I did the best job," Temple once recalled of her mother. "She said it was because I made the most films. That was a good answer. It puts you in your place." As Temple entered her teens, however, audiences seemed to lose interest.

At the age of 14, she received her first on-screen kiss from Dickie Moore in the comedy "Miss Annie Rooney," but the movie flopped. She fared better with Cary Grant in the adult romp "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" (1947), but subsequent films proved unmemorable. Meantime, her marriage to hard-drinking soldier turned actor John Agar was collapsing. They had a daughter, Linda Susan Agar, in 1948, but Temple filed for divorce the following year. In 1950, at the age of 22, Temple retired from motion pictures. She later dabbled in television, joining NBC for "Shirley Temple's Storybook" in 1958, but never again made a feature film. Temple met Charles Alden Black, a Navy intelligence officer, early in 1950. Though wealthy and well-connected (his father was the president of Pacific Gas and Electric), Black had no idea who Temple was. "It was very refreshing to me," Temple said, "a handsome guy who wasn't interested in Hollywood or anything about it." As it happened, Temple herself was no longer wealthy.

The $3 million she had earned during her girlhood had been frittered away by her father, leaving her roughly $90,000. By the end of 1950, Temple and Black were married. They remained so until he died in 2005 of complications from a bone marrow disease. Their son, Charles Alden Black Jr., born in 1952, became director of business operations for Stanford Research Institute; their daughter, Lori Black, born in 1954, became the bassist for the grunge band The Melvins. By all accounts, Temple's life in and out of the movies was a happy one. In interviews she was dependably upbeat and gracious, always good-humored about her famous past but far more engaged in the present. "Long ago," she once said, "I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe. I can hardly wait to see what happens next." With AP Shirley Temple Movies on iTunes Open iTunes to buy and download movies Biography No other child star in the history of popular entertainment enjoyed so much fame and renown as Shirley Temple -- by the tender age of six, she was already among the biggest celebrities in the world.

Born April 23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California, she began taking dance classes at three, which led to her discovery by Hollywood in 1932; initially, she was tapped for a new series of children's films called "Baby Burlesks," parodies of adult features of the era designed to capitalize on the massive success of Hal Roach's Our Gang shorts. Temple soon enjoyed a number of bit parts in minor features before her breakthrough performance singing "Baby Take a Bow" in the 1934 musical Stand Up and Cheer poised her on the brink of stardom; while her skills as a singer and dancer were already remarkable, her gifts as an actress were ultimately her greatest drawing card, and she connected with audiences on a deeply emotional level rivaled only by a handful of the era's biggest adult performers. In 1934 alone, Temple made nine features, most notably Little Miss Marker and Bright Eyes, the latter launching her hit song "On the Good Ship Lollipop"; as a result of her success that year -- just her first as a feature actress -- she was even given a special miniature Academy Award.

Through it all, Temple remained so poised that rumors swirled that she was not even really a child at all, but a dwarf. As the Depression raged on, her films emerged as compulsory escapist fare for audiences of all ages, and soon she was making upwards of $300,000 annually, with a vast array of dolls, coloring books, clothes, and other products bearing her likeness. As the '30s wore on, Temple's star continued to ascend; each of her films was more profitable than the one that preceded it, and included such hits as 1935's The Littlest Rebel, 1936's Poor Little Rich Girl, and 1937's Heidi.

Her pictures also generated a number of hit songs, among them "Animal Crackers in My Soup," "When I Grow Up," "Curly Top," and "Swing Me an Old-Fashioned Love Song." In 1938, Temple was the year's top box-office draw; however, while a few more hits followed, including 1939's The Little Princess, as the '40s dawned her popularity began to dwindle -- like so many child stars before and after her, her wide audience appeal simply faded as she entered her teens. Temple continued appearing onscreen for the remainder of the decade, each time to diminishing returns; she eventually retired from screen acting at the age of 21. In 1958, she attempted to mount a comeback in television, hosting the short-lived series The Shirley Temple Storybook; 1960's Shirley Temple Show fared no better. After marrying businessman Charles Black, Temple concentrated on family life, also working extensively for charitable concerns; in the late '60s she entered politics, unsuccessfully campaigning for Congress. In 1968, however, she was appointed as a U.S.

representative to the United Nations, and from 1974 to 1976 was the U.S. ambassador to Ghana. In 1988, Temple published her autobiography, Child Star; a year later she was named ambassador to Czechoslovakia. She died at her home in Woodside, California on February 10, 2014 at the age of 85. ~ Jason Ankeny Top Movies Amazon.com: The Shirley Temple Collection, Vol. 1: Heidi / Curly Top / Little Miss Broadway / Captain January / Just Around the Corner / Susannah of the Mounties: Shirley Temple: Movies & TV By Mr. V on March 18, 2013 Format: DVD|Verified Purchase I gave this Shirley Temple Compiliation 5-stars in that it is perfect! The audio and picture quality is very good; especially for the age of these movies. Furthermore, this compilation offers the option to watch each movie in its original 'black and white' state or in color. Last, you get a good diversity in this collection. I mean, you get Shirley Temple films such as 'Captain January' ranging to 'Ms.

Broadway.' The genre selection covers one side of the spectrum to the other (Cowboys and Indians; to Broadway tapdancing; to Sailors). These movies are perfect for a rainy Saturday evening with the family! Today's actors do not even come close to yester-years'! By Steve Vrana HALL OF FAME TOP 1000 REVIEWER on January 15, 2015 Format: DVD|Verified Purchase I'm not old enough to have watched these films when they were first released, but I have fond memories of watching these on my parents' black-and-white television more than fifty years ago. As such, these vintage films bring back images of a simpler time. I had already purchased volume three, and have now expanded my collection to also include volume one. Buying these collections out of sequence is of little consequence since the film titles are not presented in chronological order. Here are the six films contained in this set: "Heidi" (1937, 88 min., rated G) One of Shirley Temple's best known films--and among her best.

(Certainly in the top three!) "Curly Top" (1935, 76 min., rated G) This film features the signature song "Animal Crackers in My Soup." "Little Miss Broadway" (1936, 72 min., rated PG) Jimmy Durante is among the cast members. "Captain January" (1936, 76 min., rated G) Includes a dance scene with Buddy Ebsen called "At the Codfish Ball." "Just Around the Corner" (1938, 70 min., rated G) This was the last Shirley Temple film to include Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Bert Lahr also makes an appearance as the chauffeur. "Susannah of the Mounties" (1939, 79 min., rated PG) Even though the film also starred Randolph Scott, by 1939 Shirley Temple's films began to decline at the box office and she would make only two more films for 20th Century Fox before she was let out of her contract. Note: All films are presented on separate discs. Each disc contains the original black-and-white film as well as a colorized version.

Shirley Temple was the No. 1 box office draw four years in a row from 1935-1938. [ Note: She was the No. 2 box office draw for the decade--the No. 1 for the decade was Clark Gable.] During her stint at 20th Century Fox, her singing, dancing and acting lit up the screen. I dare you to watch these films and not feel your spirits lifted. What more can you ask of a movie? VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED By Muriel A. on September 2, 2016 Format: DVD|Verified Purchase The quality of these movies are just as good as my video's maybe even better. and these sets are a lot cheaper then the others that have only 3 movies each on them. These have 6 movies on 6 dvd's in each box. The first collection the movies were mixed up from what it says but is easy to put them in the right order. The 2nd Collection is in the right order but the last one (Wee Willie Winkle) does not have a picture on the dvd the name is in red, but... has good quality. So no big deal.

The 3rd collection one is all in order and I didn't see anything wrong. Mind you I only checked the beginning of the first movie in each box. So hopefully the quality stays good and no other problems with any of them. (It will take a while though). Once I have watched them all I will come back if there are any problems. 1000+ images about shirley temple on Pinterest | Candy stations, Hollywood and 2nd birthday Pinterest • The world’s catalog of ideas shirley temple Shirley Temple: Bright Eyes and Curly Top star dies aged 85 | The Independent News Shirley Temple: Bright Eyes and Curly Top star dies aged 85 The actress rose to fame as a child star in 1930s classics such as Bright Eyes and Curly Top Tuesday 11 February 2014 10:47 BST Click to follow The Independent Online Shirley Temple has died aged 85, her family have confirmed.

Shirley Temple - Life And Career Temple was born to a banker father and a housewife mother on 23 April 1928 in Santa Monica California, with two older siblings. She landed a contract with Educational Pictures at just three years old, and made her acting debut in a string of low-budget movies, then dubbed ‘Baby Burlesques’. Her mother helped develop her skills in dancing too, and signed her up for lessens by the time she was four. Her father became her astute financial adviser and also her agent. From starring in ‘Baby Burlesques’, she was able to score a contract with Fox Film Corporation, and by the time she was six, she had appeared in her first Hollywood feature-length, Carolina. Shirley Temple as she appears in 'The Littlest Rebel' directed by David Butler, 1935 Temple made a further eight films with Fox, including Little Miss Marker and, thanks to her cherubic optimism and bouncing gold girls, she quickly became one of the studio’s top earners.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once called Temple “Little Miss Miracle”, thanks to her part in raising public morale during times of economic hardship. “As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right," he famously said. However, her popularity waned as she began to mature and with it left her audience. As a teenager, she starred in The Blue Bird in 1940, which bombed at the box office. She also co-starred opposite Cary Grant and Myrna Loy in The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer at the age of 19, and appeared opposite John Wayne in Fort Apache in 1948. But by 1950, she only made a handful of appearances on the small screen, and had all but retired from Hollywood. But as her career in the entertainment industry drew to a close, she started afresh with a career in public service. She ran for Congress in 1967, and from 1969 to 1970, she served as a US ambassador to the United Nations.

She was appointed the ambassador of Ghana in 1974 and, two years later, became the chief of protocol of the United States, a position she held until 1977. Further still, she became the only person to this day to reach the rank of honorary Foreign Service officer of the United States. Between 1989 and 1992, she served another public service role as the ambassador for Czechoslovakia.

She also married US Navy veteran Charles Alden Black in 1950. She had one daughter, Linda Susan, with Agar before they divorced in 1949. She also had a son, Charles, and a daughter, Lori, with Black after they had married.

Black and Temple remained together until his death in 2005.
