“As a phenomenon in the history of the show business and among all children, Shirley Temple (1928 – 2014) stands as absolutely unique. For four successive years she has led all other stars in the film industry as the number one box office attraction of the world. But Shirley’s influence has been wider than this – there is no country in the world, both civilized and uncivilized where at some time or another her pictures have not been shown.”
“In a few weeks Shirley’s fan mail reached avalanche proportions, with the result in her next film, Bright Eyes, Shirley was starred. The old contract was torn up and the Temples were given a new one.”
