What did Shirley do after leaving show business?
Shirley was married at age 17 to a handsome soldier name Jack Agar. They had a lovely daughter named Linda Susan. But Agar's personal problems led them to divorce four years later. It was then that Shirley met her true soulmate -- Charles Black, a former Naval Officer. They were married in 1950 and had two children -- Charlie, Jr. and Lori.
