Shirley Temple, later known as Shirley Temple Black (April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014), was an American actress, diplomat, and TV host. She was the first to receive the Academy Juvenile Award in 1934.
Acting career
Movies
Temple started her film career at age 3, appearing in short films. She became a superstar in 1934 with the movie Bright Eyes. She starred in other popular films like Curly Top, The Little Colonel, Dimples, Wee Willie Winkie, and The Little Princess. Though her popularity declined as she grew up, some of her teen movies, such as Since You Went Away, Fort Apache (with Henry Fonda and John Wayne), and The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy), became classics. Temple married John Agar in 1945, then Charles Black in 1950, retiring from movies at 22.
Television
After focusing on her family, Temple returned to TV in the late 1950s with the show Shirley Temple's Storybook on NBC. The series featured dramatizations of fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast and stories like Pippi Longstocking. Well-known stars like Charlton Heston and Agnes Moorehead appeared on the show, which was nominated for an Emmy Award in children's programming. The show ended after two seasons.
Politics
Temple became active in the Republican Party in California. She ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1967. She was involved with the Commonwealth Club of California and served as its president in 1984.[1][2]
She served as a U.S. Representative to the United Nations (1969) under President Nixon,[3][4] and was the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana (1974–1976) under President Ford.[5] She was the first female Chief of Protocol of the United States (1976–1977) and later became the U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia (1989–1992) under President George H. W. Bush.[6]
Illness and death
Temple had breast cancer in the early 1970s and had a mastectomy. She died on February 10, 2014 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at her Woodside, California home, at the age of 85.[7]
