Touching 1949 photograph of the child megastar Shirley Temple, all grown up and appearing in court to seek a divorce from her husband John Agar on charges of cruelty. It must have seemed amazing to the older generation that anyone would mistreat someone as sweet and lovable as the Shirley Temple they saw on screen a decade earlier! It must have been embarrassing to Temple to have some many photographers capturing at one of the low points of her life, but this also provides a cool look at the paparazzi of the era. Issued by Acme and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is a fantastic example.
