Robinson’s partner in this scene is none other than Shirley Temple, who was also one of the most famous actresses in the 1930s.

She was known for her curly hair, cherubic smile, and upbeat personality, and was often cast in roles that required her to sing and dance.

Sadly, Robinson died in 1949 and Shirley died in 2014. But luckily for us, their incredible dancing is preserved in this film–the only one that has “The King of Tap” performing with the “Little Princess of Hollywood.”
