But Shirley Temple definately deserves to be mentioned. I forgot to add my favorite of her films to the 30s list: Curly Top! And OMG, I can't believe I forgot Miracle on 34th Street! One of Maureen O'Hara's best - and Edmund Gwenn totally deserved that Oscar! Natalie Wood was so darling and John Payne so handsome - talk about the perfect cast!
