Shirley Temple Black (née Temple; April 23, 1928– February 10, 2014) was an American film and television actress, singer, dancer, and public servant, most famous as Hollywood's number-one box-office star from 1935 through 1938. As an adult, she entered politics and became a diplomat, serving as United States Ambassador to Ghana and later to Czechoslovakia, and as Chief of Protocol of the United States.
Temple began her film career in 1932 at the age of three. In 1934, she found international fame in Bright Eyes, a feature film designed specifically for her talents. She received a special Juvenile Academy Award in February 1935 for her outstanding contribution as a juvenile performer to motion pictures during 1934, and film hits such as Curly Top and Heidi followed year after year during the mid-to-late 1930s. Licensed merchandise that capitalized on her wholesome image included dolls, dishes, and clothing. Her box-office popularity waned as she reached adolescence. She appeared in a few films of varying quality in her mid-to-late teens, and retired completely from films in 1950 at the age of 22. She was the top box-office draw in Hollywood for four years in a row (1935–38) in a Motion Picture Herald poll.
Shirley Temples are often served to children dining with adults in lieu of real cocktails, as is the similar Roy Rogers.
The cocktail may have been invented by a bartender at Chasen's, a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, to serve then child actress Shirley Temple. However, other claims to its origin have been made.
Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986: "The saccharine sweet, icky drink? Yes, well...those were created in the probably middle 1930s by The Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood and I had nothing to do with it. But, all over the world, I am served that. People think it's funny. I hate them. Too sweet!"

Lyrics:
He was a dandy
Yes, he was a dandy
He was a dandy
And she was a belle
She wore a bonnet
With blue ribbons on it
And he wore a flower
In his coat lapel
He was so handsome
And she was oh, so fair
While strolling on the avenue
Folks would stop and stare
For he was a dandy
Yes, he was a dandy
He was a dandy
And she was a belle
She wore a bonnet
With a stuffed tomato on it
And he wore a flower
In his coat lapel

I'm not a king But I've got more than a king Because this whole world Seems to be a comedy to me I may be broke But I take life as a joke And if you want to Make each day a holiday Try my way Look at the funny side And have your fun Stay by your honey's side And laugh you son of a gun It doesn't cost a thing To buy the sun You haven't lost a thing So laugh you son of a gun I don't mean a snigger heh heh heh I don't mean a giggle hee hee hee I don't mean a chuckle No no no no What I mean is ho ho ho ho Look at the funny side For when you're done Its all a buggy ride
