Lovely Portrait Photos of Shirley Temple as a Child

Shirley Temple was Hollywood’s number-one box-office draw as a child actress from 1934 to 1938. She began her film career in 1931 when she was three years old and became well-known for her performance in Bright Eyes, released in 1934.

Temple won a special Juvenile Academy Award in February 1935 for her outstanding contribution as a juvenile performer in motion pictures during 1934 and continued to appear in popular films through the remainder of the 1930s, although her subsequent films became less popular as she grew older.

Temple appeared in her last film, A Kiss for Corliss, in 1949. Take a look at these lovely photos to see portraits of Shirley Temple when she was a child.
