What happens to a famous child movie star when she’s no longer a curly-haired cute kid? When Shirley Temple Black died in February, 2014, she was praised by everyone from George and Barbara Bush to New York Times writer Aljean Harnetz as a woman who was an American icon. As a child star, Shirley Temple was the darling of Americans suffering through the Depression. As an adult, she was the epitome of a patriot as she served in the United Nations and as Ambassador to Ghana and then Czechoslovakia. Join Jenny as she brings this fascinating woman to life based on John Kasson’s new book, The Little Girl Who Fought the Great Depression: Shirley Temple and 1930’s America and Temple’s autobiography, Child Star.
