Actress Shirley Temple is dead at age 85.

The legendary former child star appeared in such classic movies as Bright Eyes, Curly Top, Heidi and The Littlest Rebel. She also had a TV series, Shirley Temple’s Storybook, which aired from 1958-61.

After leaving Hollywood, Temple got involved in politics. She ran for political office in California, then later served as U.S. ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

Here’s a rare episode of Shirley’s TV show.

It was produced by William Asher (Bewitched) and originally aired on NBC on December 11, 1960. Enjoy the show as we remember Shirley Temple.
