She has two brothers, Jack (b. 1915) and George, Jr. (b. 1919). Her mother loved dancing and this directed Temple towards performing. Gertrude was a constant presence on the lot during Temple's childhood acting years, helping her learn her lines, and controlled her wardrobe.

20th Century Fox

After appearing in Stand Up and Cheer! with James Dunn, Temple was signed to Fox Film Corporation (which later merged with 20th Century Pictures to become 20th Century Fox) in late 1933. Stand Up and Cheer! is a 1934 motion picture about the Depression Era in the United States, and the efforts undertaken to boost the morale of Later, she was paired with Dunn in several films, notably her breakthrough film Bright Eyes, produced by Sol M. Wurtzel. Bright Eyes is a 1934 musical / Comedy Film, starring Shirley Temple and produced by Sol M Sol M Wurtzel ( September 12, 1890 &ndash April 9, 1958) was an American Motion picture producer This was the film that saved Fox from near bankruptcy in 1934 at the height of the Great Depression. A fox is an Animal belonging to any one of about 27 Species (of which only 12 actually belong to the Vulpes genus or 'true foxes' of small It was in Bright Eyes that Temple first performed the song that would become one of her trademarks, "On the Good Ship Lollipop". " On the Good Ship Lollipop " was the trademark song of child actress Shirley Temple. This was closely followed by the film Curly Top, in which she first sang another trademarked song, "Animal Crackers in My Soup". This article describes the plant disease For the Shirley Temple movie see Curly Top. " Animal Cracker in My Soup " was sung by Shirley Temple in the 1935 film " Curly Top " In 1936, Temple was paid an unprecedented amount of money for her work on Poor Little Rich Girl: $15,000 per week. It was during this period, in the depth of the Depression, when her films were seen as bringing hope and optimism, that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is reported to have proclaimed that "as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right. "[4]

In 16 of the 30 films Temple made for Fox, she played characters with at least one dead parent. This was part of the formula for her films, which encouraged the adults in the audience to take on the role of her parent. [1]

Temple became Fox's most lucrative player. Her contract was amended several times between 1933 and 1935, and she was loaned to Paramount for a pair of successful films in 1934. For four years, she was the top-grossing box-office star in America. Shirley's birth certificate was altered to prolong her babyhood; her birth year was advanced from 1928 to 1929. She was not told her real age until her "twelfth" (actually her thirteenth) birthday. [5]

Temple's films were not always seen in a positive light. The novelist Graham Greene wrote in a review for the magazine Night and Day of her appearance in Wee Willie Winkie:

Her admirers - middle-aged men and clergymen - respond to her dubious coquetry, to the sight of her well-shaped and desirable little body, packed with enormous vitality, only because the safety curtain of story and dialogue drops between their intelligence and their desire. Henry Graham Greene OM, CH (2 October 1904 &ndash 3 April 1991 was an English writer best known as a novelist but who also produced Short stories Wee Willie Winkie is a 1937 Adventure film starring Shirley Temple, Victor McLaglen, C [6]

Temple, via her studio, was the successful plaintiff in a British libel case in 1938 against Greene's review. The damages awarded were enough to close the magazine.

In 1940, Temple left Fox. Working steadily, she juggled classes at Westlake School for Girls with films for various other studios, including MGM and Paramount. Harvard-Westlake School is an independent Co-educational university preparatory day school consisting of two campuses located in Los Angeles, California Her most successful pictures of the time included Since You Went Away with Claudette Colbert, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer with Cary Grant, and Fort Apache with John Wayne.
