wait, shirley temple is still alive?

[basilosaurus]

I don't know why, but I was looking up her wiki. She's still alive. How did I know know this? I thought she died decades ago. I thought if she was alive surely there'd be some occasional tribute on tv.

Did anyone else not know this?

Now I want a Cherry Vodka Collins.

Marisa had a Shirley Temple on Mother's Day. I could've used a Vodka Collins then, too.

[heightsyankee]

Yeah, she got really involved in politics and was an Ambassador at some point.

[jupiter2328]

Yes, I would know if she died because my mom would go into full on mourning mode.

[judgejudy]

Who knew? Know I want a drink with lots of cherries .

DD gets comments that she looks like Shirley Temple all of the time. It's probably because all kids with ringlet type curls automatically look like Shirley Temple, but whatever.

[ringstrue]

I think she sort of *hates* TV and film now so doing any sort of tribute would be a no go.

Wowww, she was so cute, it makes me sad that she's had so much work done. I mean, she looks ok I guess, but I'm curious how her cuteness would age naturally.

[polarbearfans]

Wow I thought she died too...of cancer or something. Nice to hear she is still alive and well

It's sad though that all of the millions of dollars she should have had from her movies were spent and lost by her parents, she saw very little of it I don't often feel sorry for child stars who lose their fortunes because they've usually messed up their lives, but it seems like she has had an overall positive life and made good contributions to the world.

I would hate film too if I had been put in a box with a block of ice to "cool off" when I misbehaved as a child!

I wanted to be her as a little girl.

I <3 Shirley Temple. Yes, I did know she was still alive. She's 84. She's awesome. I wish they still showed her movies on tv on Saturday mornings.
