Army, who squired her around whenever he could get leave. Though she'd met John Agar the year before, Roy was still her favorite. 42 1942: Although Shirley received her first screen kiss in Miss Annie Rooney from Dickie Moore, her mother refused to allow pictures made of the. event.

She announced her engagement to John Agar, the son of a well-to-do Beverly Hills widow.
