Her discussions on NATIONAL TV about breast cancer SAVED MY GRANDMOTHER'S LIFE! And I KNOW my grandmother was just one of many women who can say that. So many people in the USA are in her debt for her decision to go public with such a private matter. I KNOW that it saved at least one life for sure. RIP Shirley Temple-Black and THANK YOU!

[@joanhaselman444]

I had HER2 cancer on my right breast in 2002, Herceptin was a new drug for those who were not in the late stages back then. I KNOW that Shirley Temple's work helped to save my live, I opted for a double mastectomy, had 22 months of chemo, and a month of radiation. I am fortunate to still be alive. God Bless you, Shirley Temple, you are still dearly loved. And I know you are praying for us from Heaven.

I have a VERY unique story regarding Shirley. I work for a funeral home after hour phone service. I got a call from her nurse that she WOULD be passing tonight and to be prepared. I took all the doctor and family contact information that I needed and had everything prepped for her to be picked up and brought to the funeral home. This amazing lady held out for another month before passing and I have always thought that it totally fits her never quit life.

I can't wait to meet her in heaven. I'm sure she's still dancing and singing and shining a bright light.

And apparently her Father was no better because he allowed it! I'd bet that poor little girl wouldn't even receive ANY love, adoration, or praise from her Mother Unless she performed & became her "Cash Cow!" Ugh!

I loved ST as a child watching her movies. Her autobiography was a real eye-opener in that her image as a goody-two-shoes didn't hold a candle to her true nature. As a child she was emotionally intelligent and highly intuitive. She navigated the movie business better than most adult actors and had a keen sense of human behavior. If you're a Shirley Temple fan and haven't read her book, I highly recommend it!

[@drmoynihan]

It was a wonderful book. Shirley Temple wrote in the book that one reason she wrote it was so people would know the truth about her, not what people made up. :) BTW, whether it makes any difference to people - Shirley Temple wrote in her book that she is a Christian and lived her life that way.

When I was a child, I adored her. I couldn't get enough of her movies, and was so happy when they showed the reruns. To me she was the perfect girl with the perfect life. It wasn't until I was an adult until I found out how she was treated, exploited, and that her childhood was basically non-existent. The studio even made the guest lists for her birthday parties. She had no say-so in anything. But I'm glad that she had a good life once she was out of show business, and I admire her for all the work she did as an adult.

Shirley Temple did get the opportunity to invite her friends over. :) Her dance partner Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and his wife were invited a number of times and visited Shirley at her home. But she was sad when Bill "Bojangles" Robinson told her that she could never come over to his home because it would not be allowed by society (and the studios). I bet that really got her thinking, including becoming as an adult an Ambassador of hope to the World.

Me too. My first hearing of Shirley Temple was while watching tv at Granny’s house. A commercial came on for a Shirley Temple movie. I asked,” Who’s Shirley Temple?” And Granny replied that she was a wonderful and extremely talented little girl. I didn’t see the show. In fact I didn’t see any of her movies until the 70s. But then, because of what Granny had said, I searched out the movies when I had a daughter. I’ve ended up buying all the videos and now I also own a few composition Shirley dolls. I’ve been a fan Since the first watched movie, and mourn her loss, but always celebrate her life.

It's hard to choose a favorite Shirley Temple movie, but I can say The Little Princess really touched my heart with how she was treated by the schoolteacher and the snobbish girls attending the school with her, then seeing her vindicated when Queen Victoria actually helps her with looking for her father in the hospital and she finds him just before they are ready to transport him. Her friend at the school who quit to join the royal guards was at the hospital when Shirley found her dad which I found to be very fitting. The movie is a little different from the book, but still very heart warming. The next door neighbors who saw how cold she and Becky were and cared enough to get them warm bedding and a nice breakfast. Just so touching. I loved the entire movie.

[@Barnatopark]

The little princess was the first movie of Shirley Temple that I saw too. I adored that movie and have memorized many of the things she said in the movie, like when her dad leaves her at the school.

Sadly missed, she was the best thing to come along with her music and dance to righten up our days. Love you, Shirly Temple. I still love seeing her movies.😍😍😇😇😻

Women from them were something else! As an actress, she knew people took cues off her, so that strong positivity helped during the depression and after... Amazing women

I loved the episode when her Daddy was in service, brought her to the home for girls. When presumed dead, the matron makes her a servant. The man who saw the girls living in dark, cold, Attic. When they return there is food and a fire, satin bedding and robes. I loved that man. Shirley Temple Black, thank you for the joy, and may you RIP 🎥

One of my favorites

[@jojohi6]

Beautiful to have seen the episode recently mentioned🎉

[@elj1978]

That movie is called The Little Princess

[@SassysCatering]

That was one of my favorite episodes too! I also liked the one with Bojangles.

[@lindabebe6850]

My kids grew up on Shirley Temple movies, dolls and they have toys, cups of all her movies, and a whole collection of memorabilia for my granddaughter. I still have a lot of the Shirley stuff here. She was a joy to our hearts. My husband and I used to watch the movies with the kids. I have all her movies, and 3 or 4 dolls.

[@tabbytalsin9099]

An inspirational human being. I watched every Shirley Temple movie with my grandmother and aunt she would light up our lives. Shirley overcame so many challenges .I followed her post Hollywood career and honour her efforts in her Humanitarian roles with the UN. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

[@bobbibenson3555]

Her movies were joyful and you never were tired of watching them over and over again 😊

[@michelemiller3798]

An amazing story about a very talented & resilient child who grew into a woman who continued to help others & teach kindness through advocy for those who society ignored! I'm very impressed with her story & so glad her second marriage was happy. Not fond of her mother &/or father who spent most of her money, she was a child! I'm going to read her autobiography for sure!

[@lennyoddo5506]

My wife loves Shirley Temple watched every Sunday afternoon with her mom when she was little. She wishes they would put her shows on again. Loved this autobiography. Hope she one Sunday sees one of her movies again.Thank you again, on behalf of my wife

Has it really been almost a decade since Shirley Temple died? Time really flies by!

[@Debbie-h2v]

I watched all of her movies when I was young. She was such a delight! Her smile was infectious! I was impressed with her life’s story. She was a beautiful soul even in her old age!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@jeanledoux3793]

I am glad she found friendship and happiness. Her acting made you forget your troubles.

[@tenaguin1054]

I remember watching her as a child. She was an amazing person, very inspirational.

[@helengrives1546]

A fascinating little girl. She was important in our family home. We all loved her for her smile and kindness.

[@cheslascott8026]

I absolutely loved Shirley Temple & all her movies when I was a child. She inspired my love of dancing. I took ballet & tap dancing as a child and young adult. I was often told that I was a Shirley Temple look- a - like as a child. However, my hair was naturally curly so my mother would only have to brush my hair around her fingers into the little pin-curl ringlets to match Shirley Temple’s. I have such fond memories of dancing along to all her movies. Those were the best of days!!!

[@patriotmama]

Shirley was the same age as my Mom. I grew up watching her movies and yes, I started tap dancing when I was three and continued training until I was 15. I loved it. My favorite movie of hers was The Littlest Rebel and tap dancing with Bill Robinson. Just a super classic. She was a super star in everything she did. Class act for sure.

[@stregalilith]

Yes, I was raised in Hollywood and every time I went to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel I would walk up and down that stairway and remember how sweet the two of them were together, tiny Shirley Temple and amazing dancer Bill Robinson--and her keeping up with every step! A glorious scene at a time when that was something you just didn't see. Rest in Paradise Shirley and Bojangles and thank you for all the joy you gave so many people.

[@CommonWealther]

Such a sweet child. I have every DVD of each movie she made. There won't be another one like her. RIP Shirley! ❤

[@nancyburt8791]

When I was a little girl my Mom and I watched Shirley Temple movies on Saturday afternoons. This was always one of my favorite memories!❤

[@jenmatthews9247]

She was an adorable child and a great actress ❤️❤️

[@doriseckel593]

Shirley Temple was remarkable in everything she did, never mind her age! I admire this woman to thus day!

[@sonyafox3271]

Your video was a pretty good tribute to Shirley Temple Black, was a fan of hers since, I was little, and, yet she was constantly mistreated by everyone that came into life in and out of Hollywood but, she loved everyone and, fought for constant fair and equal treatment for all and, that’s what made her so, great as a individual and, ambassador to all these other countries. I had her book and read it a couple times, watching her movies never get old.

[@valleriesummers5691]

I loved Shirley Temple and the movies she was in. The adorable innocent child that had behind the scenes dark secrets. It's a shame there was exploits behind the camera.

[@banditdog1338]

I love Shirley's movies and have watched most of them several time they are truly timeless. A great lady in spite of everything she endured she rose above it.

[@Angeliquetheuniq]

I loved all Shirley's films. She was so talented and an amazing bright light.

[@dorisreisinger4695]

Shirley learned very precious and very important views of who people are no matter their color or finances. She was a strong child and woman to make the impact that she did. Always loved her!

[@cyanara01]

Always was and still is one of my favorite stars! Always an inspiration in all she accomplished. Thank you for the memories.

[@patriciamurfitt4590]

Read her biography. Surprising to say the least. She turned into a beautiful woman inside and out.

[@jeanneelliott7243]

We watched Shirley Temple at my grandmother's house, after sunday school, 60 years ago. I loved her then and now.

[@eslcindy]

I remember watching Shirley Temple as a child in late night movies on WTCG Channel 17 in Atlanta...when it was the ONLY 24 hour tv station. She was mesmerizing and her talents were as deep as they were wide. ❤

[@carlavito4952]

I remember this!

[@topper1958]

As a young boy I was captivated by Shirley. She autographed her biography for me in 1988 when in NYC. I also have an autographed collage movie poster from her. I also have a collection of her glassware, dolls and books. Shirley was enchanting.

[@0001-r3o]

A wonderful person and brought wholesome entertainment to children for years. Loved her movies as a child and bought VHS for my daughter to watch growing up. ❤

[@roseofsharon7551]

Well done! My mother born 1 year later than Shirley was a huge am fan of Shirley Temple’s and I grew up on her namesake non-alcoholic drink, and admiring her talent.

[@marylong4693]

She was so sought-after! I remember the movies shown for only kids at the Palace Theater in Hilo, Hawaii each Saturday morning for only 10cents admission that included LooneyTunes Cartoons, current Movietone News, & doulble features (usually a WWII war film & a Western). On special occasions a Shirley Temple movie with an older re-run was shown. That was special! I was born in 1949; it was like growing up with her. She was a favorite star in the golden age of movies from the major studios, in an age of values that entertained, with all major stars & supporting character actors & casts. With the advent of TV, movie stars of her era evolving, gradually transitioning with innocence gradually diminishing, too. The Vietnam War began, TV dominated & influenced society in many ways beginning in the 1960's. She transitioned into a teen and became a young mother, a respected wife & diplomat of noted international influence. She lived a exemplorary life, & people were saddened at her passing, but she left a a wonderful legacy!

TAP DANCING TO THIS DAY AND IM 75-My Mom looked just like her, born of the same era - My Mom in 1927 - and of course, she adorned with the curls by my grandmothers hand, i had times of the same curls myself. I have 3 Shirley dolls = one that was mine when the vinyl were made in the late 1950’s and then 2 of the Sawdust variety, onethat was my moms and another I got lucky to find for very little cost. I LOVE SHIRLEY - so many wonderful movies but i must say - Littlest Rebel is on the top of my list! Great to know that she had a bond with Robinson. Thank you for putting this up

[@Mel_M8]

What a wonderful lady of class she was. Beautiful, really enjoyed this. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@lisasmith2245]

Shirley Temple truly was an amazing woman ❤

[@gilliansmith60]

Hiya , are you Liesl from MK ?

[@lindamoses3697]

I remember seeing her as a small child and wondered why I couldn't sing and dance like her. We loved Shirley and still do.

[@freckles8119]

Sometime on the late 70’s my kids came running into the room I was in “there is a little girl on tv, she can sing and dance and everything!” Yep! It was Shirley.

[@helensmith7357]

I had great admiration for Shirley Temple. Thank you for this.

[@76sherie]

She was an amazing woman and an inspiration as a child! I remember watching her movies on TV and being inspired to sing and dance and yes I took tap dancing 😂 but what stuck with me most was her optimism and resilience all of her characters had that theme and it definitely affected my young mind! I knew she was an ambassador but didn’t know how much she did! Thanks for this story 🥰

[@IreneCapuzzi]

Loved all her movies and could rewatch them over and over again. What an amazing person. Want to read her book!

[@MaddyT54321]

My mum was a massive fan of Shirley's and I watched all of her films with my mum. In the late 80's I was working for a radio station in London and I was lucky enough to meet Shirley Temple Black.... a real honor .

[@rattlecat5968]

Shirley's professional persona exemplified what little girls of her time looked up to becoming...a sweet child, wholesome, kind, loveable, friendly and full of grace. Oh, my! How things have changed on the big and small screens. Our kids and grandchildren have few, if any such role models these days. But what's really remarkable is that Shirley's professional persona was just a foretelling of the wonderful woman she would grow to become. R.I.P. Shirley ❤️ You gave so much to so many for so long. You are missed.

[@sharyllee7094]

I loved Shirley Temple. She was my idol when I was young and I think every thing about her saved me from despondency when I was a child. Thank you Shirley; you are a Wonder...
