In 1935, Temple was the headline star for the very first time in a film called Bright Eyes. This was the movie where the curly-haired cutie performed “On the Good Ship Lollypop,” her signature song. What most people don’t know is the ship from the title is actually an airplane.

Temple was a huge star and treated like one. Temple got her own bungalow on the Fox Studios lot. The house had four bedrooms, a garden, a picket fence, pens for her rabbits, and a wall-sized mural of Temple as a fairy princess. Wow! It sounds like she was living her best life, and she was barely seven years old.
