Shirley Temple personally-owned award for her movies premiering in 1936, given to her by 20th Century Fox and based upon the Quigley Publishing Co.'s annual poll of movie theater owners of the most popular movie stars. Shirley won this award in four consecutive years from 1934-1938, a feat only equaled by two other stars, Bing Crosby and Burt Reynolds. The poll began in 1932 and continues to this day as one of the most important indicators of a star's box office draw. This award from 1936 features a montage of photographs of Shirley's films from the year, including ''Dimples'' and ''Poor Little Rich Girl''. Award plaque measures 16'' x 19''. Some scratching to frame, otherwise near fine condition. With provenance from the Shirley Temple estate.
