Shirley Temple Dies

Former child star Shirley Temple - a box office sensation in the 1930s - has died at the age of 85.

Her family said in a statement: "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 of 55 years."

Her films, such as Curly Top and The Littlest Rebel, have been credited with saving 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy during the Great Depression. ...

She was quite an icon as a child. They still advertise her movies.

Glad she didn't turn out like today's child stars.

RIP Shirley.

Temple ranks 18th on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female American screen legends of all time.

She always had a smile on her face, even when she didn't. Those curls, that dancing, and that singing, was all great stuff.

She was ambassador to Czechoslovakia and Ghana in Republican administrations. She was in Europe in 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell.

Godspeed, Shirley. You were one of the greats.

She is true legend in many ways. She lives on as a child actress.

The unhinged left shows their true colors.  :mental: :argh:

Seriously, If you're trying to eulogize  Shirley Temple & you can't resist bemoaning the fact that she was in GOP. You should see a shrink

I'm not sure which depresses me more: that Shirley Temple died or that she was a Republican who supported the Vietnam War.—

Twenty years from now most of the Republican Party will be dead. Shirley Temple was just another old conservative who now can't vote.

Shirley Temple Black was an inspiration to so many child stars who dreamed of becoming adult Republican idiots.

This family always watches her movies when they are on the tube.  The DVR will be cranked up on the 9th.  RIP Shirley Temple.  You were one of the greats.
