The poor little mite! What a tragedy - she had her whole live in front of her.

At the 70th Academy Awards in 1998, they invited all the then surviving winners of acting awards to appear on stage together. They had them all sitting in alphabetical order, like a giant group photo, and went through everyone, calling their name out in turn. It was observed at the time that Shirley Temple's name seemed to generate the biggest response.

Yes, for Best Supporting Actress for The Piano.
Her outfit on the night continues to haunt her.
