Shirley Temple Dead: Legendary Child Star Dies at 85

"We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements," a statement from the actress' family read in part, asking for privacy as they prepare funeral arrangements.

Shirley Temple, the enchanting singing and dancing child star with the glowing corkscrew curls who saved a Hollywood studio and helped yank America from the throes of the Great Depression, died Monday night. She was 85.
