Publicist Cheryl Kagan told the Associated Press than Temple, known in her private life as Shirley Temple Black, died surrounded by family at her home in Woodside, Calif., near San Francisco.







Born in 1928 in Santa Monica, Calif., Temple got her start in show business by performing in a series of one-reel feature film spoofs called "Baby Burlesks" for $10 per day.

In 1934, 20th Century Fox signed Temple to a seven-year contract that paid her $150 per week. She went on to star in films like "Stand Up and Cheer!" "Baby Take A Bow," and "Bright Eyes." By the end of the year, Temple's pay had been upped to more than $1,250 per week.

Between 1935 and 1938, Temple was America's top box-office draw, and was credited with saving 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy.
