EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a teenage Shirley Temple in the midst of filming the poignant scene for 'Since You Went Away' on May 17, 1944. At the age of 21, Shirley had grown from her iconic childhood image as the curly-haired, dimple-cheeked 'Little Miss Sunshine' into a young woman, taking on more mature roles that reflected the changing times. 'Since You Went Away' was a significant departure for Temple, as she played a serious role as Ann Sutton, a young woman whose father is away at war and whose mother has taken a job as a war-relief worker. The film, which also starred Joseph Cotten, Claudette Colbert, and Monty Woolley, was a wartime drama that addressed the sacrifices and challenges faced by families during World War II. The photograph shows Shirley in character, wearing a simple yet elegant dress and a serious expression, as she delivers a line to her co-star, Monty Woolley. The set, with its props and crew members in the background, adds to the sense of authenticity and the importance of the scene. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the making of a classic film, and a reminder of Shirley Temple's versatility as an actress. Her transformation from child star to adult performer was a remarkable achievement, and 'Since You Went Away' marked a pivotal moment in her career. This image is a historical treasure, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Shirley Temple as a cultural icon. It is a must-have for any collection of Hollywood memorabilia or film history archives.
