The 8 Cutest Shirley Temple Gifs

Before Honey Boo Boo, there was another blonde-curly haired girl that captured the hearts of a generation. Famed child star, Shirley Temple, died on February 11th at the age of 85. While she lived most of her adult life out of the limelight, we couldn’t resist a little tribute to the curly-haired girl’s cutest moments.
