Shirley Temple Black, who as a dimpled, precocious and determined little girl in the 1930s sang and tap-danced her way to a height of Hollywood stardom and worldwide fame that no other child has reached, died on Monday night at her home in Woodside, Calif. She was 85.

So sad. I treasure my vintage Shirley Temple doll (my mom only had two dolls growing up--this was one of them and the doll still has her original clothes, shoes, and hair). I loved watching her movies when I was a child because I had this doll (granted, these movies were in black and white and not on often).

We had a TV channel growing up in the '60s and '70s that showed movies from the'30s through the '50s, so I saw lots of her movies. They were always so much fun and upbeat. I'm glad she was able to make a successful transition to an adult career.

Truth be told, I didn't even know she was still alive.
Some celebrities quietly disappear into old age.

I had to look up why they kept says her name on the TV, I Googled the CNN report about one-minute before it was announced on the TV. Shrek was surprised, he hadn't heard about it all day.

RIP "Little Princess" "Little Miss Marker" "Heidi"

She made some good movies as a young woman.

"I'll Be Seeing You" with Spring Byington in 1944 is one that comes to mind.

It was all about the dimples.


Godspeed Dimples.
