#19: Shirley Temple (1935)

Shirley Temple radiates pure joy in this adorable Easter-themed portrait, most likely taken around 1935. Dressed in one of her signature ruffled, polka-dotted dresses, she sits beside a white rabbit with that iconic dimpled smile that made her America’s sweetheart during the Great Depression.

By 1935, Temple was already a box office sensation, starring in films like Bright Eyes and Curly Top. This photo captures her innocence and showmanship, mixing childhood charm with studio polish.
