the camera
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Edward with/all the best in
wishes/Sincerely/Shirley Temple". Vintage b/w, 8x10. Dated in pencil
(unknown hand) on verso: "Jan. 14, 1947". The most popular child actress in
history, Shirley Temple (1928-2014) had a succession of hit films in the late
1930s, including Stand Up and Cheer, Bright Eyes, Curly
Top, Dimples and Heidi as well as The Littlest Rebel.
The child actress, known for her cute curls and adorable dimples, earned a
special Academy Award in 1934 "in grateful recognition to her outstanding
contribution to screen entertainment". Moderately successful as a teenage star
in Miss Annie Rooney (1942) and Since You Went Away (1944), Temple
saw her acting career decline thereafter, probably because the public preferred
to remember her as an adorable child. She later hosted two TV series, The
Shirley Temple Storybook and Shirley Temple Show (1958-1960). After
running unsuccessfully for Congress, Shirley Temple Black (she was
married to her second husband, businessman Charles Black from 1950 until his
death in 2005), enjoyed a second successful career as a diplomat in the
1970s, serving as a U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., to Ghana and to Czechoslovakia,
as well as Chief of Protocol at the State Department. Temple, who was a
Kennedy Center Honoree in 1998, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the
Screen Actors Guild in 2006. Toned. Fine condition.
