Shirley Temple could arguably be the most popular and famous child star of all time. She began her rise to stardom at the age of a mere 3 years old. She was born in 1928 in California, and 5 years later, fans had already fallen in love with cuteness, cheerfulness and bright, golden curls. She gave rise to tons of Shirley Temple memorabilia: dolls, phonographs, mugs, hats, dresses, you name it. However, despite her outstanding success, (being box office champion from 1935 to 1938,) by the time she hit her 20s, her career was coming to a close. She passed away a widow in 2014, at the age of 86, leaving behind 3 children.
