For the first time, Shirley Temple Black
-the quintessential child star of the 30s
and 40s-tells in her own words the col-
orful story of her life as an actress. In this
long-awaited autobiography, Shirley s le-
gions of admirers will learn that for the
captivating girl who seemed to have ev-
erything, reality was often a far cry from
the ~Good Ship Lollipop."
Born in 1928 in southern California,
Shirley Temple was extraordinary fi om
the start. At the age of three, she began
acting, often in exploitive films directed
and produced by some abusive studio ex-
ecutives. But Shirley s talent and perse-
verance could not be thwarted, and she
soon entered a fruitful relationship with
Twentieth Century-Fox. Before long she
was making films with the top stars of
the day, including Gary Cooper, Carole
Lombard, Lionel Barrymore, Joel Me-
Crea, Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Jo-
seph Cotten, Claudette Colbert, and Bill
"Bojangles" Robinson.
There was something magical about
Shirley Temple that cheered the soul of
America during the Depression. She was
the number one movie star of the nation
for four years in a row, from 1935
through 1938. Her winsome spirit
charmed everyone from President and
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt to FBI direc-
tor J. Edgar Hoover and aviatrix Amelia
Earhart- as did her accomplished perfor-
mances in more than forty films, such
classics as Stand Up and Cheer, Baby
Take a Bow, Bright Eyes (in which she
sang "On the Good Ship Lollipop"), Curly
Top, The Littlest Rebel, Wee Willie
Winkle and many others. As a teenager,
Shirley continued to make movies under
the ae~s of MGM and David 0. Sehnick.
