She was a sensation waiting to happen. Imagine audiences being enchanted by a three-year-old girl with a little sparkle in her eye and a little bounce in her step. That was Shirley, making her debut as a dancer and gaining fame with humorous shorts that completely upended the world by putting children in adult roles.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5322-235x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5322-235x300.png 235w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_5322.png 616w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><br \/>\nThen 1934 arrived like a confetti explosion.
