No, No, No!! Shirley's mother was a wonderful woman, called The Genius Behind Shirley Temple. She believed that if a child didn't like a certain vegetable, and another vegetable would do just as well, that was fine with her. (Very unusual parental philosophy at that time.) She did believe in discipline when absolutely needed. (Though she may have spanked Shirley once or twice, Shirley has written that she hardly felt it.) She believed in fun, and told Shirley that if Shirley continued to be a good girl, she would continue to have fun...Shirley's day on the lot was started with a visit to the child star's bantam chickens...at the end of the day, Shirley took home an egg for the next day's breakfast. Shirley has written that when not actively making a film, every day at the studio seemed like a party. Shirley's Mom also let Shirley have what we would call down-time at home also, and Shirley developed the ability to keep herself amused, and developed also a love of reading. When Shirley awoke every morning, the first thing she saw was a flower, that Mrs. Temple made sure was set on the table next to Shirley's bed. Shirley's Mom enjoyed dancing, and all her children had tap lessons. Mrs. Temple however recognized Shirley's great talent, and was the intelligence behind Shirley's training (some lessons were at the famous Meglin Dance Studio) and Shirley's very early filmic efforts. Mrs. Temple made things easy for Shirley, for example coached her on the set (advising her how to combat, so to speak, the scene stealing that (other) actors can/would do). Mrs. Temple also handled interpersonal matters, I.E. she knew how to be pleasant and kind to others on the lot, as well as being focused on Shirley's career. (Of course, her major concern was her daughter, who was very young for such an outstanding, world-wide iconic career). Shirley herself, as an adult, has said she doesn't know how her Mother could do it all. Even in recent time, a Shirley Temple Contract (as in actors/actresses asking to have a Shirley Temple Contract), meant to have a contract with many (humane) perks (as well as good pay). And Mrs. Temple had two other offspring also!--two boys--and it was said that she was very fond of her whole family...when one offspring's life was somewhat settled, she went on to the next offspring, and addressed their concerns... and she had a pleasant marriage, it would seem, which she was very involved with (did you know Shirley's Dad was in a special compartment under the Rose Bowl Grand Marshall float the child star sat on, in 1939?). When Shirley was (temporarily) considered Too Old (in early 1940's) for film work, Mrs. Temple took just as active a role in Shirley's high-school career (at Westlake School)!!!! Mrs. Temple was both creative, very organized, and very loving. An amazing woman.
The "price" or value of any antique doll (pre-1935), including Shirley Temple always varies in the consideration of it's condition, size & style, rarity, appeal & demand among collectors, & it's level of originality (repair history, clothes, wig, shoes, etc.). There is never a set value on the secondary market for collectibles because it's as fickle as the economy and as loyal as the collectors who change their mind. The best way to research a general value for a 1934 Shirley Temple doll, is by comparing the final selling prices on completed on-line auction listings. Recently, a 13 inch, mint in box, all original, 1934 Shirley Temple Doll sold on eBay for $1,650.79. It also had unique attributes, such as signed photos and provenance. Here is the link to that completed auction, which may only be visible for a limited time on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130428731245
If new in the box(unfired) and with the correct hang tags and box,then the value will be 1,595 dollars.
Yes, Shirley Temple was unfortunately sexualized from a very young age. As a toddler, she appeared in a series of "Baby Burlesque" films. Although in most films she did not appear nude, she was placed into inappropriate roles. For instance, she was a four year old prostitute in Polly Tix in Washington. She spoke out as an adult and said that when the did not do what they were asked to on set, they were forced to sit on ice in a windowless box. However, in a very hard to find movie poster for "What is it?" Shirley Temple (about 5 years of age) was fully nude except for thigh high black leather boots, gloves, and a whip. She had a Nazi emblem over her shoulder. The film is not listed on IMDb or other most movie sites due to content. Luckily, as years passed, this film became recognized as very unethical. It appears she suffered a good deal of unwanted attentions from men as a child. It is reported that at the age of 12, a film executive showed her his genitals. Unsure of what to do, she giggled, and he threw her from his office. As far as her adult years, she did not do any nude films or photo shoots. It seems when she hit an age to have a choice in the matter, she did not choose to continue the type of films she had been forced into. Anything you may find on her would be as a child that did not have a choice.
The Quigley Poll has existed since 1932. Motion Picture theater owners and film buyers vote for the actors they believe generated the most box office revenue the theaters during the year. 1935: Shirley Temple 1936: Shirley Temple 1937: Shirley Temple 1938: Shirley Temple

A Shirley Temple doll in its original box is usually worth about one thousand dollars US. Depending on the rarity of the outfit it can be worth a slight bit more.
I found somewhere where it said if it's still in original mint box that It could he worth 125$ it might help to do a little research. I would think those dolls would be expensive
