What is Shirley Temple doing today?
Shirley Temple is 77 years old. She lives in Northern California. Shirley wrote the first volume of her Autobiography in 1988, called Child Star. She is currently working on finishing up Volume 2. Shirley has just released The Shirley Temple Storybook Collection which contains many of her classic films from her personal film library, all for the first time on DVD.
What happened after she finished her acting career?
Shirley Temple got married at age 17 to a soldier named Jack Agar in September 19, 1945. They had a daughter named Linda Susan in January 30, 1948. But Agar’s personal problems led them to divorce four years later in the late 1949's. It was then that Shirley met her true soulmate Charles Black in Hawaii, a former Naval Officer. They were married in Dcember, 5 1950 and had two children , Charlie Black Jr. in April 29, 1952 and Lori Black in April 9, 1954. But then Charles Black died from myelodysplastic syndrome (a bone marrow disease) at age 86 on August 4, 2005. Shirley went on to be the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Ghana, the U.S. Chief of Protocol during Gerald Ford’s administration, a United States representative to the United Nations, and the U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia and she became involved in Republican Party politics, unsuccessfully entering a Congressional race in 1967 on a platform that supported the United States involvement in the Vietnam War. She had run against Pete McCloskey, who was famous for his opposition to the war, rare in a Republican and rarer in a retired Marine.

What was Shirley's first major film?
Shirley acted in a number of films after the Baby Burlesks, each time getting strong reviews and praise from all who saw her. In late 1933, she was contacted by Fox Film Corporation and landed a role in their new film Stand up and Cheer, a Depression-era fantasy. It was a great success, and Shirley’s dancing and acting wowed everyone. This marked the beginning of her meteoric rise to become the biggest star in the world, and the creation of her many wonderful films.
How many movies did Shirley make?
Shirley Temple started in 14 Short films, 43 Feature Films and over 25 storybook movies in a career that spanned from 1931 until 1961.
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.
