Shirley Temple was born on April 23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California. Her dancing career began when she was about 3 years old, as her mother decided she had a natural gift for it. According to Biography, by the time she was 6, she had already managed to land a contract with the Fox Film Corporation. At that young age she starred in her first film, "Carolina," and later went on to make eight more films for the company that helped make her a household name.
With her curly hair, adorable dimples, and dancing talent, she stole the hearts of the American public. At the age of just 7, she went on to star in some of the most well known movies of the decade, such as "The Little Colonel" and "Dimples." While Temple's talent alone would have likely made these films a success, it was her dance partner, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who made them unique.
