Beroemd om haar krullenbol Shirly Temple

Wat leuk om dat een Nederlands kaartje te vinden met een afbeelding van haar erop. Shirly overleed in 2017.

Shirley Temple Black, the dimpled curly-haired scene-stealer, warmed hearts from the start. She died this week at age 85 at her home near San Francisco, and though Temple Black went on to lead a storied life well outside Hollywood, there are still a few facts that some readers may not know. Here's a sampling:

Watch out Hollywood, I’m here: At 3, Temple made her on-screen debut, but it was a strange one. She and a handful of other toddlers starred in the 1932 parody series “Baby Burlesks.” The toddlers wore diapers and barely there lingerie, playing hookers and World War I soldiers. Temple later described the series as "a cynical exploitation of our childish innocence" in her 1988 autobiography. But she also said the programs were "the best things I ever did."

Make me (extra) pretty, mama: Temple’s mother, Gertrude Temple, a woman who had her own desires for a career in entertainment, enrolled her daughter in dancing lessons when she was barely 3. But when her daughter shot to fame, she was right there with her. Temple’s mother styled her daughter’s hair in pin curls for each feature film. Every hairdo had exactly 56 curls, no more, no less. Temple told The Times in 1989 that her “super mother ... kept my head on straight.”
