I have prayed on this, the Holy Spirit has guided me to several sources of information, and from what I have gathered, Shirley Temple was a false Christian-in-Name-Only and
presently burns in the fiery pit of hell.
From the
Gospel Herald:
Quote:
Temple learned of the magnitude of her fame early on. Her religious views were swayed, as Temple found it difficult to attend church services due to "her fame and popularity would inevitably attract attention away from everything else," as stated in her biography Child Star.
Nevertheless, "religion and spirituality was important to her" throughout her life and career. Though Temple was brought up as Presbyterian, her mother claimed it would be easier to attend Episcopal churches near her home. Despite the difficulties of attending church, her mother made it clear that Temple "was taught about God and the Bible."

It sounds like, at best, her faith could be described as lukewarm. And we know what the LORD does to those who aren't filled with the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 3:15-16
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Further, though she claims to have saved her virginity for a white wedding, she was never able to produce the tokens of her virginity as proof of her intact maidenhead, in accordance with Deuteronomy 22:15-22.

Shirley Temple was a virgin until her wedding night. After consumating the marriage, her new husband complained that he thought she seemed like she was not a virgin, as she had claimed. She explained that proof of her virginity had been surgically removed during a minor pre-marital surgical procedure performed by her doctor, Dr. Lawrence Davidson, three days prior to the wedding. Apparently this was a routine practice. (Child Star, pages 380-381, 385).

Sure. Consider the source. She divorced her first husband and remarried, living in adultery (Matthew 19:9). Are we to take this harlot on her word?
It seems pretty clear that she was a false Christian, chasing after her own lusts rather than perpetually seeking His face, and she now takes her place with all others who pay mere lip service to our LORD and Savior. She had her chance to become a True Christian™, she squandered the opportunity, and now she burns in hell.
