If the biopic had been made in the early '80s, Aileen Quinn would have been a great actress to play Temple.

Thank you! I've never gotten to see this :) As a die hard Shirley Temple fan, The Shirley Temple Story both entertained and frustrated me. I felt there were many historical inaccuracies and that the film overall could have had more of the reality that life has. But when Shirley Temple wrote her autobiography "Child Star" she had certain goals in mind to share with the world. Number 1 was the love she had for her mother and how, contrary to popular belief, her mother was not a mean stage mother but a very loving mother. Shirley wanted to share her love of Bill Robinson and the relationship she formed with him, the tap dancing that she adored doing with him. She thought it was interesting to put out a book with so much of the great depression era in it. How she truly enjoyed what she did at Fox even though not much money was left for her when it was over and she continued to lead a happy life because her parents fought to give that stability. Shirley lead an incredible life beyond child stardom! Whatever this movie based on Shirley Temple's life was or was not it did hit on all of these amazing facts that Shirley wanted the world to know most about her

WoW I love this 💖💝💘🙋🏾 I was a Shirley Temple fan too I have to read the book now 📕

One of my favorite movies

400 girls and none looked like her xD this girl was hard to watch o the movie

So cool she got to meet her

I have the VHS, and this movie does contained full of predictions that Disney buys 20th Century Fox. That was 18 years ahead since this movie was from 2001 when Disney predicted the future.

I don't even know why they said that little girl looks like Shirley Temple she doesn't look nothing like her

well shirley had brrown eyes

I liked the idea of the movie, but I did not enjoy watching the actress that plays Shirley Temple. Like most who commented in this we were all frustrated because this girl did not even look anything like Shirley Temple. And the mannerism she betrayed of Shirley Temple was clearly acted.😢

I could the comparisons of the legendary Shirley Temple Black and the actress that’s playing her in the 2001 movie

Wow! You picked the wrong one.. The girl that played Shirley completely lacked in most aspects. I watched her movies all my life. And it was not her.. Just my opinion.

I am major Lucille ball fan

I wish I could have meet Shirley temple

FAKE SHIRLEY

I agree. She lacks softness and warmth. Also the wide eyed innocence is missing. She’s sort of plastic and sneers when she smiles. Other than that she’s incredibly talented.

I agree. She didn't just not look like her. Her acting was horrible and she was way too old for the role. The movie was horrible;
