2014 · In “War Babies,” from 1932, 3-year old Temple gets her first speaking role as an exotic dancer in a bar for soldiers, where she wiggles around in a little off-the-shoulder number, ogled by. Temple made eight Baby Burlesks films, and 10 other short films, before being signed to star in feature-length motion pictures.
