My wife has an amusing story - when she was young (like around 6 or 7), she heard of "Shirley Temple Black" and thought that people were referring to a black (i.e. African-American) version of Shirley Temple.

I watched tons of her movies on weekend mornings as a kid. A very talented child performer. R.I.P.

I read a great quote by her once. She said she stopped believing in Santa Claus when he asked for her autograph. RIP

As a child actress she purely defined "precocious." This is the scene I enjoyed most as a kid. Ffwd to about 2:53 for it, but really, the whole thing is an absolute delight ...

She was far and away the greatest child star of all-time, she was a natural.

RIP
