Shirley Temple was easily the most popular and famous child superstar of all time. A celebrity at three, she could act, sing and dance by the time she was five. Her bright, bouncy and cheerful screen image made her so popular that fans bought millions of dollars worth of products that had her likeness on them. Shirley was the box-office champion for three straight years, 1936-38, edging out such great adult stars as Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Robert Taylor, Gary Cooper and Joan Crawford. The Little Princess is a good example of Shirley’s acting genius. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD.
