Description
Comprising a hand-lettered note with colorful border reading "Miss Klamt I really love you. From Shirley Temple. (c. 1935), along with a profile pencil sketch labeled "Miss Klant by Shirley Temple", and with a photograph of the teacher working with Shirley. Frances Klamt worked at Fox for a number of years as tutor to the Studio Kids, as she called them, who numbered, in addition to Shirley, child stars ranging from Anne Baxter to Natalie Wood. In her 1988 autobiography, Child Star, Shirley describes Miss Klamt as she first met her. "A slight woman who stood with both feet together, she wore a small felt pancake hat tipped at a barely perceptible angle and clutched her handbag directly in front of her."
