Shirley Temple

Shirley Temple was a successful child actress from 1935 to 1938 and starred in films such as Bright Eyes, Little Miss Marker, and Frolics of Youth. People loved her singing and dancing, but as she got older, she struggled to find roles. Many child stars go through this, and Shirley was no exception. She decided to retire from acting in 1950….

Shirley Temple immersed herself in politics in the 1960s and became a member of the California Republican Party. She eventually took a position to be the US Ambassador to Ghana in 1974 and later became the US Ambassador to Czechoslovakia in 1989. She thrived in her career and enjoyed every minute of it. Temple passed away in 2014 but her legacy lives on even today through her films and government work.
