It’s only natural that the child that helped bring this country out of the Depression during the 1930’s and was a symbol of wholesome family entertainment would be linked to Disney entertainment. First shot is a photo of Shirley Temple Black with her daughter Linda Susan Agar on the left and son Charles Alden Black, Jr. on the right enjoying a ride on Dumbo at Disneyland, February 1956. One year later in April 1957 Shirley would return to the park to help christen the new Sleeping Beauty walk-through inside the Castle. Here’s to hoping she is invited back to do the honors again when the Diorama is restored. Shot #2 shows Shirley at the 1961 Oscars with Disney’s own darling, Annette Funicellos.
See more vintage & current Dumbo photos at my regular website. “Nightmare Before Christmas” fans—this Tim Burton classic is now available on Blu-ray, and also features a way cool tour of the Haunted Mansion (NBC version). Available at Amazon.com

Great pictures Dave. Happy Labor Day.
Dave, thanks so much for posting these pictures! Great shot of Shirley and Annette. What a prize that is!

Who's cuter?!?! Shirley was quite the beauty when she was a young woman. But I don't know, Annette is hard to top!
Oh, thank you for this post. They are two of my all-time favorite women. Both beautiful, fabulous and ultra-talented!
