She was very popular during the desperate times of [[The Great Depression]], but those viewing her films today are more likely to have a reaction of [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] due to [[Values Dissonance]].

Temple's star guttered out as she entered her late teens and early twenties, and she finally left Hollywood. After
For some reason, characters based off her tend to be [[Spoiled Brat

* [[Regal Ringlets]]
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Her later films, like ''Since You Went Away'', and ''The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer''.
