Shirley Temple:<\/h2>

Santa Monica\u2019s Biggest Little Star<\/h3>

2016
<\/strong>April 16 – July 1<\/span><\/p>

Shirley Temple has come home to Santa Monica!<\/span><\/p>

In this extensive Shirley Temple exhibition, it goes beyond her film career and into Shirley Temple\u2019s extraordinary adult life and diplomatic career. It showcases new artifacts, original movie costumes and posters, dolls, personal clothing, photos, correspondence, memorabilia, and much more.<\/p>

The Santa Monica History Museum was one of only five museums in the world chosen by Shirley Temple\u2019s children to display their mother\u2019s personal childhood collection in the Love, Shirley Temple<\/a> exhibition prior to it being sold at auction. Within one week, our exhibition was viewed by over two-thousand people. A special VIP preview event was attended by members, the media, various local, city, and state officials and celebrities including former childhood stars, Jane Withers, Margaret O\u2019Brien, Jerry Mathers and many others.<\/p>

Starting February 2016, we will honor and celebrate Shirley Temple\u2019s birthday each year with a special permanent exhibit. Our exhibition will feature a number of items won by our members (including Louise Gabriel, Bob and Nancy Ramsey, and Susan Gabriel-Potter) from Theriault\u2019s auction. We are excited to display Temple\u2019s prized iconic red polka dot dress from \u201cStand Up And Cheer\u201d, the Good Ship Lollipop dress worn in \u201cBright Eyes\u201d, several other film outfits, posters, her birth certificate, as well as photos of her with President F.D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt.<\/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. Shirley Temple: Santa Monica\u2019s Biggest Little Star was an exquisite tribute to her career and legacy.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t \n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
