Shirley Temple Black was born on April 23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California to a homemaker mother and a banker father. At the age of three, Shirley started taking dance classes at Meglin’s Dance School in Los Angeles. Around the same time, Shirley’s mother had the idea to style her daughters hair in curls rings in tribute to the famous actress Mary Pickford. After a year of dance classes, Shirley entered a talent competition at her school and was soon landed a series of bit parts in short films and modeling jobs. In 1934, when she was just six years old, Shirley signed a contract with Fox Films. That same year she landed what would become her breakout role in the movie “Stand Up and Cheer!”.
