Salvador Dalí's painting Shirley Temple, The Youngest, Most Sacred Monster of the Cinema in Her Time (1939) was controversial. It depicts Temple's head on the deep-red-colored body of a heavy-breasted lioness with long white claws.[6] British author Graham Greene, reviewing a Temple film, commented that although Temple was "marketed as an innocent kid, the performer had a 'more secret and more adult appeal'" and that "for her male audience, 'the safety curtain of story and dialogue drops between their intelligence and their desire'".[6]

In 16 of the 20 films Temple made for Fox, she played a character where either one or both of her biological parents were dead. This was part of the formula for Temple films, which encouraged the adults in the audience to take on the role of her parent.[4]
