As a child star in the 1930s and 1940s, Shirley Temple Black was known for playing outspoken, brave, feisty characters. From “Heidi” and “The Little Princess” to “Curly Top” and “The Little Colonel”, the precocious young singer and dancer portrayed characters that always looked on the bright side and always turned adversity into triumph. It was a role she played in 1972 that the former child star and diplomat said was her greatest role…a role that allowed her to make a major difference in the lives of countless women. Shirley Temple Black did this by talking about her breasts!
