Former Hollywood child star Shirley Temple has died at the age of 85.

The actress found fame as a young girl in the 1930s in films like Bright Eyes, Stand Up and Cheer and Curly Top.

After retiring from films in 1950 at the age of 21, Temple returned to the public eye as a Republican candidate for Congress and as a US diplomat.

She died on Monday at home in Woodside, California, from natural causes. "She was surrounded by her family and caregivers," a statement said.

Born in 1928, the sweet-faced, curly-haired Temple was one of the most popular child stars in Hollywood history, getting her first film role at the age of three.

Her rendition of the song On the Good Ship Lollipop in the film Bright Eyes was among her most famous performances.

I saw this film on the classic movie station. She was so adorable and very talented.

If I see a clip of her as a toddler singing that damned lollipop song again ..........

My God People, she did other stuff with her life besides sing the pedophile song.

I grew up watching her movies. She was a great actress and a great person too. She'll be missed.
