So, Shirley Temple died today. Back in 2007 I put together a People I'm surprised Are Still Alive list. And Shirley Temple wasn't on that list because even back in 2007 there's no way in hell it would've even remotely occurred to me that she could possibly be alive.
She's the perfect storm for such a list: became famous before FDR took office as a 4 year-old, went away from the public eye soon after, and became a name so familiar in the public domain that most people even forgot it was a real person.
