She is overall a cutie

[@wanderliscious]

I'm more amazed by her facility with lyrics and language than her dancing, in the first few musical numbers she's around three yet she handles the words with ease. By age 5 she was becoming a polished professional and her love of performing showed. I've read that she was a very quick study with dance steps, I think she's very very bright period. I look forward to sharing her movies with my granddaughter :)

[@SonicGamerGirl2006]

For those who are unaware of Shirley Temple, she sadly passed away on February 10th, 2014 at the age of 85. She will be forever remembered as a famous child stars during the Great Depression. My mother told me about her when I was 8 years old while she was still around. I was initially impressed, and was absolutely adored by this girl's singing, dancing, and acting. It's very upsetting she is no longer around, but she is still remember as a beloved actress in the 1930s. I'm now 17 years old, and I love singing and dancing, and I still remember what my mother told me 9 years ago. :)

[@taylordowning2533]

I loved Shirley Temple as a child and about twenty years later, I introduced my little cousin, who is now 15 and she loved her too. She is greatly missed and when she died, I was sad, but on the TCM Remembers tribute, when they showed her last, I cried. I really did not think I would miss her so much even though I never met her. R.I.P. Shirley, you are greatly missed

[@wendybrooks6154]

She tapped like someone with much more experience! Ask dancers and they will tell you it’s 6 hrs a day in class, I don’t know how this kid did it.

[@seaofmadness2622]

Alot of little girls love to dance and wear pretty dresses. She probably didnt mind most of the time. Theres an interview with shirley from a few years ago she said her mother was very good to her and supportive and had a watchful eye over her while she was acting. She loved her mother. She seemed like a happy child too

She started tap-dancing at 3years old.

[@micheleellis4074]

Such a truly unique child. Cute, adorable, captivating and highly intelligent and sweet.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Sammy Davis Jr was exactly the same! He started @ age 3 & was one of the very best tap dancers back in the day, self taught & was equally very intelligent, gifted & cute in his own right! I watched his 60 Anniversary Celebrations Show years ago & learnt so much regarding how talented & gifted he actually was, not to mention, how loved & respected he was by countless within the US & abroad. When he died, there were messages of sympathy pouring in from all corners of the world. He was a very sweet, kind & good person, who never did any wrong toward anyone within his lifetime. The sad thing is however, you don't hear many think about this fact, let alone talk about it! Fun fact, there were & are many African-American talents, who are superb tap dancers, yet, they're so underrated! Many were self taught from early childhood, not to mention, superb musicians too! Many used to dance side by side with the new Irish immigrants who lived in NYC, Seneca Village & they all got on very well & they'd even fall in love & have beautiful children together. Those were much happier times, until the Seneca Village massacre took place & countless lives were lost, destroyed & torn apart. I read that because of intentionally systemic & widespread racist ideologies back in the day, the destruction of that village was done with intent. It's a truly shameful history/past.

@@pamelamark3609 Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Different people see beauty within different people & in different things. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, of course. When i travelled the world, i saw the most incredibly beautiful children, from every background/ethnic group/within all of the world's continents. Beauty is "everywhere", but we just have to really open our eyes to see it & to appreciate it. We don't only see true beauty within Caucasian/European ethnic groups, but within ALL ethnic groups & this becomes very visually obvious, when we travel to distant lands.

Shirley was my idol growing up in the 70's and 80's! I was a tap dancer, I wore the same 'sissy' dresses, and insisted my hair be curled in ringlets like hers, all the way until the age of 10!

Shirley Temple was a beautiful, hard working, actress. She single handily saved the studio she worked for. Remember there were no child labor laws at they time and how very young she was and realize she worked longer and harder for years than most adults. And yes in 1930 there was racism in the film industry as in a great deal of society. She didn't like being separated from Mr. Bojangles when they traveled by whites only policy when she was just a little girl. She deplored racism as an adult.

[@sunnyshores7520]

Her dresses were too short for a lot of reasons. She made to look younger and was sexualy exploited even in those days. You can see her in the movie, Baby Burlesk. It was too bad. Then her last movie was a copy of "Oz" and it failed.

Actually, Sammy Davis Jr was exactly the same & also started when very young, @ age 3. He was also a brilliant singer, musician & tap dancer, sadly unbeknownst to many. His life story is incredible & very inspiring, considering he had no special privileges, as he was an African child, growing up within a very racist & segregated society back in the day within the US. Frank Sinatra, his friend, fought for him to gain access, into so called, "white" clubs back in the day, because they wouldn't allow SD Jr in through the door, because of his skin shade. Frank Sinatra told them, "If my friend isn't allowed inside, we won't go inside either". Then they allowed SD Jr access with Frank, Dean Martin, etc;. He had to work extra hard just to get by, to be noticed, to be given a fair deal. I watched his life story & i learnt so much about him & how utterly amazing, intelligent & resilient he was, just as all African peoples had to be back in the early days & also within the days of slavery. You'd have to be for sure, just to survive in those times & if you were of colour, it wouldn't have been easy @ all, because society didn't allow things to be easy, for people of colour.
