The Good Ship Lollipop has sailed with its most famous passenger. Shirley Temple died today at age 85. She was the highest box office draw from 1935-1938, and is still the youngest person ever to receive an Oscar, at age six. Variety has a full tribute. Her work as a child star is what most will remember, although personally, I also enjoy some of her later work as a young woman, including Fort Apache with John Wayne and The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.
P.S. - I could not resist posting this photo of her in what appears to be a Chrysler Airflow pedal car.
