Shirley Temple
Shirley Temple Black (PeekYou profile here) — who as a dimpled and precocious child, in the 1930s, was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, and who later in life became a United States diplomat, and sat on the board of many major corporations — has passed away at age 85.

For her numerous accomplishments as an adult, Temple Black is best remembered (under her maiden name of Shirley Temple) as the moppet who acted, sang, and danced her way through such depression-era films as Curly Top, Poor Little Rich Girl, and Heidi, and for popularizing bouncy, optimistic ditties such as “Good Ship Lollipop” and “Animal Crackers in My Soup.”

You can follow her careers both on and off the screen, as both a child and an adult — through articles, videos, photos, and much else — as well as keep up with the Web’s many memorials, via Shirley’s PeekYou profile.
