ruled the 1960s, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at 16 for The Miracle Worker and later starring in her eponymous sitcom. Starting her career at just 7, Duke has unique insight into the life of a child star, and the specific challenges they face as they grow up in the public eye. Duke opened up about those struggles in her memoir, Call Me Anna, which showed how she overcame her own difficult obstacles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

passed away Monday night, EW spoke with Duke to discuss Temple\u2019s influence on her, her own on-set experiences, and why she thinks so many child stars struggle once they hit adulthood.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know a whole lot about Shirley Temple\u2019s home life or background to get what we saw on film. Except, having been almost in her shoes I know that that little girl worked hours and hours and hours and I hope somebody treated her very kindly. Every mother wanted their daughter to be Shirley Temple. I had very straight hair and my mother used to drive me crazy curling my hair so that I could look like Shirley Temple. Didn\u2019t work!<\/p>\n

As a child, I idolized Shirley the movie star. My favorite Shirley Temple movies were the ones that had her incredible singing and dancing and dimples, but then she\u2019d do a scene that was serious and I would be sobbing for days. The mold had been broken. There was only one Shirley Temple. But look, she\u2019ll live on: When we go to a restaurant, my grandchildren order a Shirley Temple.<\/p>\n
