Earning Millions
Believe it or not, Shirley Temple was able to earn around $3 million before the young girl even hit puberty! Pretty wild right? Well, that was also due to her parents stepping in. They realized after her third film that she wasn’t being compensated enough. They were able to then negotiate with Fox and hire a lawyer. Thus, her salary was raised and they paid closer attention to her image being used without a license.

Shirley Didn’t Like Her Drink
Maybe the second thing you think of when you hear Shirley Temple is the bright red soda drink. Well, that drink, invented by the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood was made as a tribute to the young star. They mixed together lemon/lime soda with grenadine and of course, a maraschino cherry. However, Shirley Temple didn’t love her own drink! Crazy right?
