Shirley Dinsdale Layburn (October 31, 1926 – May 9, 1999), better known by her maiden name of Shirley Dinsdale, was an American ventriloquist and television and radio personality of the 1940s and early 1950s.
She is best remembered for her dummy, "Judy Splinters", and for the early 15-minute children's television show that bears that name. In 1949, she received the first ever Emmy award (first award in the first presentation) for ''Outstanding Television Personality'' when she was a student at UCLA.〔''To Tell the Truth''.

==Early life==
Dinsdale was born in San Francisco, California in 1926. After being badly burned in a household accident when she was 5 years old, she was given a ventriloquist's dummy by her father, who manufactured dummies for department stores, as part of her recovery. That dummy, which she named Judy Splinters, inspired her to make her break into radio.〔 〕 Lawrence Johnson, a ventriloquist, helped Dinsdale improve her natural talent for throwing her voice.〔
Dinsdale was an A student at Drew School in San Francisco.〔 〕 By the time she was 16, she had received a Distinguished Honor Citation from the United States government for her promotion of war bonds.〔 During the war, she was student chairman for Southern California Schools at War.
