How Shirley Temple got her start

Shirley began dancing at Mrs. Meglin’s Dance Studio in Los Angeles when she was 3 years old. It was here that she was seen by two producers from Educational Films Corporation, Jack Hays and Charles Lamont. The year was 1931, and they were making a series of one real short film called Baby Burlesks, parodies of famous films of the day but with all child casts. Shirley was chosen as the star and was paid $10 a day.

Shirley Tempel's father was George Francis Temple. He worked as a businessman and banker in Southern California. Her mother's name was Gertrude Amelia Krieger. She loved to dance and this love obviously helped shape Shirley. George and Gertrude were married in 1914 and had three children – Jack (oldest, born in 1915), George Jr.(second oldest, born in 1919), and Shirley Jane. They all lived in Santa Monica, California.

I was born on April 23, 1928 at 9:00 p.m. in Santa Monica, California. Too late for dinner, and so I started life one meal behind. Ever since, I have tried to make up for that loss.
