From baby to star to legend: this is the phenomenon of Shirley Temple.
LIVING LEGEND
■ With the possible exception of royalty, no single child in modern history has ever attracted as much attention as has Shirley Temple. Having been discovered (see preceding page) her star blazed up overnight. Fan letters poured into her studio. Her salary increased by bounds. She lent her name to dolls, dresses, toys and gadgets. Her face became familiar in the most remote parts of the earth. And as the years raced by, she transcended, through the medium of the movies, the position of a movie star. To millions of young women Shirley began to represent the American dream. To people of other lands' she became a symbol of much that is phenomenal in American life. Today, at 21, Shirley Temple emerges a living legend.
