Shirley Temple:<\/h2>

The Depression\u2019s Box Office Doll<\/h3>

2017
<\/strong>April 6 – May 13<\/span><\/p>

The Museum\u2019s third exhibit to honor the Santa Monica native, is the first to bring together a stunning collection of Ideal dolls released during Temple\u2019s childhood career. Dolls on display include those owned by Shirley as well as those sold in her image during the 1930s, when earnings from licensed merchandise matched that of her income as an actress.<\/p>

The exhibition features original movie costumes and posters, personal clothing, photos, correspondence, memorabilia, and much more! Among the treasures on display are iconic costumes, including her red polka-dot dress from the 1934 film \u201cStand Up and Cheer!\u201d and the plaid dress Temple wore while performing \u201cOn the Good Ship Lollipop.\u201d Other artifacts include Shirley\u2019s personal correspondence with President and First Lady Roosevelt, photos of her as a child, and original birth certificate from Santa Monica Hospital.<\/p>

Shirley Temple was born in Santa Monica on April 23, 1928. Her abundant talents as a singer, dancer, and actress made her a quick success in Hollywood. Once named \u201cLittle Miss Miracle\u201d by President Franklin D. Roosevelt for her ability to bring joy to the lives of millions, her films have been said to uplift the spirits of a nation in the midst of the Great Depression.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
