Comments: I wish I could express how profoundly sad I was today to hear the news of Shirley Temple's passing. I watched her movies over and over as a youth; they helped bring some joy to me during a dark period of my life - but that's what Shirley did. I wrote her a letter in the late 90s, I think, and got this response from her, back before she stopped signing through the mail. I've always said this is one of my most treasured autographs. Now, it means even more. RIP, Shirley. You will be missed.
