On February 10, 2014, Shirley Temple Black, who as a child in
the 1930s became one of Hollywood’s most successful stars,
died at her Woodside, California, home at age 85.
The cause of death, according to her death certificate released
on March 3, 2014, was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The plucky, curly-haired performer sang, danced and acted in
dozens of films by the time she was a teen; as an adult, she
gave up making movies and served as a U.S. diplomat.
Born on April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica, California, Temple
began taking dance lessons when she was three. In 1932,
she was discovered by an agent and cast in a series of
short films called Baby Burlesks.
Her career took off in 1934, when she appeared in the film
Stand Up and Cheer.
In 1999, Shirley Temple was named one of the 50 greatest
screen legends by the American Film Institute.

AMERICA MET THE BEATLES ON THIS SHOW

The Beatles made several appearances on The Ed
Sullivan Show, including three in February 1964
that were among their first appearances in front
of an American audience.
Their first appearance, on February 9, was seen
by over 73 million viewers and was regarded as
a cultural watershed that launched American
Beatlemania—as well as the wider British
Invasion of American pop music and
inspired many young viewers to become rock
musicians.
The band also made another appearance during
their 1965 U.S.tour.
