Alexander Walker recalls the screen careers of the cinema's brightest stars.
4: Shirley Temple
The star of Dimples, Bright Eyes and Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm made her movie debut at the age of 4 and won a special Oscar three years later, but Shirley Temple was more than a child phenomenon. As Wall
Street crashed, she was seen as an antidote to the Depression and treated like a godsend: from 1935 to 1938 she was the country's most popular film star - and the seventh highest-paid person in the United States. Producer WENDY CLAY
