7. Shirley Temple 秀蘭·鄧波兒

(April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014)

When Chinese audiences saw this adorable child star for the first time on screen, Shirley Temple had already lived for more than half a century. In her movies, she was always alone or in trouble, but this adorable little blonde, who smiled with dimples, could always resolve anything with her kindness, push away the fogginess and bring about light. The brand "Shirley Temple" was a product of the Great Depression. People watched her act to forget their hardships as Temple entertained the poor, the rich, adults and children alike. Several decades later, when her films were screened in China, the effects were the same. Whenever she was around, people forgot about their troubles. We hope she will forget all of her troubles as she rests in peace.

當中國觀眾第一次在熒幕上看見這個可愛的童星時，秀蘭·鄧波兒（1928-2014）本人已經年過半百。在她的電影中，她總是孤獨寂寞或惹上麻煩，但這個一笑就露出酒窩的可愛金發小姑娘總能用她的善良解決一切，撥云見日。“秀蘭·鄧波兒”這個牌子是大蕭條時代的產物。人們看她的演出來忘卻自己的苦難，鄧波兒讓所有人都快樂起來，不管是窮人，富人，成年人還是小孩子。幾十年后，當她的電影在中國上映時，也收到了同樣的效果。只要有她在的地方，人們就忘卻了自己的煩惱。我們希望在她安息后她也能忘卻所有的煩惱。
