In her own words, Shirley Temple Black — the quintessential child star of the '30s and '40s — tells the colorful story of her life as an actress.

There was something magical about Shirley Temple that cheered the soul of America during the Depression. She was the number one movie star of the nation for four consecutive years, from 1935 through 1938.
