movie in 1934 called "Now And Forever", the movie also starred Gary

contest of her bear "Grumpy" who happily posed for them. At the 
completion of the movie Shirley's personal collection consisted of: 
22 dolls, 5 Teddy Bears, 16 books, and a dozen mechanical toys. All 
of this collection was gifts from the leading men in her movies.

collection. The money Shirley made from posing with her collection 
was donated to the Children's Milk Fund for the underprivileged.
