Shirley Temple passes

Shirley Temple passes

It's a sad day for those of us who delighted in Hollywood's delightful Shirley Temple. She died today at the age of 85.

DB's head is bowed 

"This cute little bundle of talent proved to be a goldmine for Hollywood. She could sing, act, and dance, and instantly became a child celebrity. She said, I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."

I nominate Shirley Temple for Great Dude in History

Oh that's sad.

I didn't realise she was still going (well she isn't now).

Dude! Same here! I had no idea she still had life in her before today? Much love to this gem of an actress.

I remember wondering 20 years ago if she was still alive, then thinking, "Eh." when I found out she was.

Her daughter at one point played bass for the Melvins. The lead singer dated the daughter and spent some time at the Temple/Black house back in the day - he called it "David Lynch weird":
