Honeymoon

Shirley Temple Guy Madison

Here are two Hollywood legends together in one picture: Shirley Temple (1928) and Guy Madison (1922-1996), in what is probably a publicity shot for their 1947 film Honeymoon.

Madison starred in lots of films and television episodes throughout his thirty-year career, though none are quite considered classics of the era nowadays. You can see a lot of pictures of him at the official website maintained by his daughter, Bridget.

Shirley Temple on the other hand became a true icon. Her career began in film at early age, during the Great Depression, and she would go on to become a diplomat, representing the United States as ambassador to Ghana (1974–76) and Czechoslovakia (1989-1992). She is further remembered as the first public figure to speak openly about having breast cancer and as the subject of a painting by Salvador Dalí!

    You tend to forget that Shirley Temple grew up and was an adult actress as well...

    Indeed, she seems mostly remembered for her career as a child actress. But I never knew, until I looked her up on wikipedia, that she'd been an ambassador for the US besides. Now that's making a career, I say.
