Shirley
Temple died from a crippling lung disease brought on by a lifetime of
smoking, MailOnline can reveal today. The woman dubbed America’s little
darling, passed away earlier this month at the age of 85, and it was
claimed that she died of natural causes. But MailOnline can exclusively
reveal she was actually killed by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD). Temple's death certificate held at San Mateo County reveals the
primary cause of death as being pneumonia, then COPD. Pneumonia
is often a complication of the lung condition. The condition is
America’s third biggest killer and has symptoms similar to chronic
bronchitis and emphysema. Sufferers have horrendous coughing fits in the
latter stages of the disease.
It
is well known that Temple chain-smoked all through her late teens but
in her later life she tried to keep the habit a secret, fearing her
homespun goody-goody image might be tarnished. She did let her guard
slip at certain times during her career, with one such occasion during
an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 1979. The interviewer
described how Temple waited until the television cameras left the room
before lighting up. She apparently said she felt guilty and did not want
to be photographed smoking – not for vanity’s sake, but to avoid
setting, ‘a bad example’ for her millions of adoring fans. But in
private she was still a heavy smoker and it seems the bad habit
eventually caught up with her. COPD claimed the lives of 133,965
Americans in 2009 and in 2011, 12.7 million U.S. adults were estimated
to have the condition.
Other
stars to have died having showing symptoms linked to COPD are Rat Pack
legend Dean Martin, TV host and comedian Johnny Carson and American
composer Leonard Bernstein. Our stunning revelation that the disease has
claimed another victim will stun Shirley Temple fans around the world,
who were left devastated by her death. The actress and singer passed
away at her home in Woodside, California on February 10 surrounded by
her family and caregivers.
'We
salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a
diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother, and adored wife for 55 years of the late and much
missed Charles Alden Black,' her family said in a statement. She was
born in the Californian beach town of Santa Monica on April 23, 1928,
the third child of George Temple and his wife Gertrude. Temple was just
three years old when she was spotted by talent scouts at her dance
school and appeared on screen for the first time, in the one-reel short
'Poverty Row'.
But
it was the 1934 film Bright Eyes that made her famous. The actress's
face and voice are imprinted on generations around the world as a result
of her performance of the song On The Good Ship Lollipop. With her hair
in ringlets, angelic face and wearing a checked pinafore dress, the
unforgettable rendition made her one of the biggest box office draws of
the era. At the year's end she had entered the list of the world's top
ten moneymaking stars at number eight. She became the youngest actor
ever to win an Academy Juvenile Award in 1935, at the age of six. Her
handprints were placed in cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater in
Hollywood along with the biggest stars of the day. She was the world's
number one box-office star from 1935 to 1938 - leaving Clark Gable
trailing in second place. Her earnings were placed into a trust - during
that time all she ever saw was $13 a month in allowance.
Her
mother, Gertrude, worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by
fame and was a constant presence during filming. She went on to star in
films such as Curly Top and The Littlest Rebel, helping the U.S. cope
with the Great Depression of the 1930s, becoming a nationwide sensation.
Mothers dressed their little girls like her, and a line of dolls was
launched that are now highly sought-after collectables. Her immense
popularity prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to say that 'as long
as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right'.
She
was credited with helping save the film company 20th Century Fox, which
owed $42million, from bankruptcy. Her career faltered in 1939 after Fox
refused to loan her to MGM, she lost the lead in The Wizard of Oz to
Judy Garland. However she struggled to maintain her cinematic career in
adulthood, though she continued to work in television.
Despite
retiring from Hollywood in 1950, Shirley starred in 43 feature films.
The actress married her first husband John Agar, a sergeant in the U.S.
Army Air Corps, in 1945 when she was just 17 years old. He is the father
of her daughter Linda. The couple divorced four years later after the
marriage disintegrated due to Agar's drinking and infidelity. On holiday
in Honolulu in 1950 she met and fell in love with California
businessman Charles Alden Black, nine years her senior, who confessed
that he had never seen one of her films. They were married in December
of that year and their son Charles Jr. was born in 1952 and daughter
Lori in 1954. They lived for many years in the San Francisco suburb of
Woodside. The couple were married for 55 years until Charles passed away
in August 2005 at the age of 86 from complications from a bone marrow
disease. She described him as the 'love of her life' and kept his voice
on the couple's answering machine. In 2006, when receiving a lifetime
achievement award a few months after Charles had died, the veteran star
said that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother.
'There's nothing like real love. Nothing,' she added. Although she had
mostly retired from showbiz, by the early 1960s Temple's interest in
politics soon brought her back into the spotlight. Goody goody: Shirley
was said to have kept her habit secret because she didn't want to spoil
her image and also set a bad example She made an unsuccessful bid as a
Republican candidate for Congress in 1967. After Richard Nixon became
president in 1969, he appointed her as a member of the U.S. delegation
to the United Nations General Assembly.
In
the 1970s, she was U.S. ambassador to Ghana and later ambassador to
Czechoslovakia during the administration of the first President Bush.
She was the first woman to serve as US chief of protocol in the
Department of State. 'Politicians are actors too, don't you think?' she
once said. 'Usually if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy
little thing, you can do pretty well in politics.' 'I have one piece of
advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement
award. Start early.' In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the
top 50 screen legends placed Temple at No. 18 in a list of 25
actresses. In 2006, Temple received the Screen Actors Guild's Lifetime
Achievement Award for having 'lived the most remarkable life, as the
brilliant performer the world came to know when she was just a child to
the dedicated public servant who has served her country both at home and
abroad for 30 years'. She is survived by her children Susan, Charles
Jr., and Lori, granddaughter Teresa and great-granddaughters Lily and
Emma.
