New Delhi, Feb 12 (ANI): Former child star Shirley Temple of the ' Curly Top' fame has passed away due to unknown reasons. She was 85. Temple, who had won a special Oscar at age 6 for her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment, died at her house near San Francisco. Temple was the ultimate child star thanks to her dimpled, precocious and oh-so-adorable on-screen persona. While talking about Temple, Allan Dwan, who directed her in 1937's ' Heidi' and 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm', said that she was absolutely marvelous and greatest in the world and was one of those actors who could remember their lines forever.
