Iconic Child Star Shirley Temple Black Dies at 85
By Henry Austin

Shirley Temple Black, who was one of the most iconic child stars of the 20th century, has died. She was 85.

The dimpled actress found fame at the height of the Great Depression in movies including "Heidi," "Curly Top" and "Bright Eyes" and later served as U.S. ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

Temple Black died of natural causes Monday at her home in Woodside, Calif., her publicist confirmed to NBC News early Tuesday.

"She was surrounded by her family and caregivers," a statement released by her family said. "We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and... our beloved mother, grandmother [and] great-grandmother."

Rest in Peace

She was still alive? I'm surprised she was only 85, I always thought she was long dead and would be hitting 100 by now. Still, she lived a long fulfilling life.

One of the few child actors who actually made something of themselves in their later years. She was a legend.

Her movies still hold up, too. I remember watching a few as a kid and strangely enough enjoyed them. But I don't mourn her, she's lived a wonderful life and we should celebrate it rather than be sad she's gone.

Like Ron Howard, she had great parents who knew how to handle the pressures of stardom, which really helped her in life. A true performer and class act that is unfortunately not so common anymore, RIP.

Wow. Sad to see her die. Still, she lived a very long and happy life. We should be happy
