After all, 20 years ago she set out for Hollywood from Kansas with little more than cornsilk blonde hair and with legs, so the expression goes, that went all the way down to the floor. Shortly thereafter she was a Sunday supplement cover girl possessed of "a dewy freshness that is a blessing to behold." But Shirley was also a natural actress before cameras.
