Shirley Temple, the star of dozens of films as a precocious, pint-sized child star, died in California, her family said. She was 85. The actress, known for her corkscrew curls and dimpled smile, died Monday of an undisclosed illness while receiving hospice care in her Woodside home, her nephew, Richard Black, told the Hollywood Reporter. Temple began her career at age 6, making $1,250 a week and some 46 features by the age of 13, the Los Angeles Times reported. She was a bigger box-office draw than even Clark Gable at the height of her career in the 1930s and '40s in films like "The Little Princess," "Heidi" and "Bright Eyes," in which she sang her iconic "The Good Ship Lollipop." Her cinematic success led her to be the first recipient of the Juvenile Academy Award at the age of 6. Later in life, Temple served as an ambassador and diplomat for four U.S. presidents, the Times said. Temple is survived by her three children, Charles, Linda and Lori, and nephew.
