The costumes worn by childhood movie star Shirley Temple during her Hollywood career make up a long-lost £1.5m collection belonging to the late actress.<br />
<br />
The curly-haired performer's parents made it a condition that she got to keep all of her outfits after filming rather than return them to the movie studios.<br />
<br />
The child costumes, that include the iconic red and white polka-dot dress the then six year old wore in her breakthrough role in the 1934 flick 'Stand Up and Cheer', have been locked away in a vault at her home for 75 years. They are being sold in Maryland, US.
