Both Shirley Temple and Grace Kelly signed autographs through the mail after their movie careers.

22-year-old Shirley Temple married Charles Black in 1950 and signed "Shirley Temple Black" if you sent her a movie still.

26-year-old Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 and signed "Grace de Monaco" on photographs picturing her as Princess.

BUT if you sent her a movie still or anything related to her movie career, she would sign "Grace Kelly" because she knew that that would be what the collector would want.

If you asked Shirley Temple to sign "Shirley Temple," she would still sign "Shirley Temple Black."

If you have a photo signed "Shirley Temple" and it was signed in the last 50 years, look carefully: the "Black" was removed.
