Shirley Temple: Iconic child star (1928-2014)

Raymond Zhou: Shirley Temple brought out the kid in all of us

When Shirley Temple visited China in April 1977, it did not cause a sensation. As a matter of fact, it went totally unheeded, with no media coverage or any personal account from the Chinese host.

Eight years later, Temple, who died this week at the age of 85, became the talk of the nation as many of her major films from the 1930s were broadcast on China Central Television. This came at a time when television sets were available mostly to urban households and viewing options were limited. But still, the size of the audience was enormous in absolute number. more

Precocious, Adorable, Soft-spoken, Superstar

"As actress Shirley Temple, she was precocious, bouncy and adorable with a head of curly hair, tap-dancing through songs like 'On the Good Ship Lollipop.'"

"As Ambassador Shirley Temple Black, she was soft-spoken and earnest in postings in Czechoslovakia and Ghana, out to disprove concerns that her previous career made her a diplomatic lightweight."

Washington Post:

Heroine, Merchandized, Shirley Temple dolls

"As a child, her movies made her a heroine for adults as well as children. Simplistic plots often cast her as a motherless tyke who found happiness and shared it, cheerfully singing or dancing her way out of trouble and spreading cheer wherever she went."

"With each new generation, she continued to be one of the most merchandized actresses in film history."

America's dimpled child movie star Shirley Temple Black died late Monday evening at the age of 85. Her passing has shocked the world, and her fans in China are also deeply saddened by the loss of yet another showbiz talent.

Temple is just one example of movie stars that China adored, and still adores. Their talents, their styles and their stories during their periods have deeply imprinted the hearts of Chinese audiences.
