Shirley Jane Temple (Santa Monica, 23 d'abril de 1928 – Woodside, 10 de febrer de 2014) fou una actriu i diplomàtica estatunidenca. Manté un lloc important en la història del cinema: va ser la primera nena-estrella coneguda internacionalment, degut en gran part per la seva llarga filmografia. Va ser una vertadera icona a l'Amèrica dels anys 30 i 40. Shirley Temple va començar la seva carrera als tres anys, apareixent en dues sèries de produccions de baix pressupost. Va signar amb la Fox a finals de 1933 després de la seva aparició a Stand Up And Cheer, amb James Dunn. El seu contracte va ser perllongat diverses vegades de 1933 a 1935, i va ser prestada a la Paramount Pictures el 1934 per treballar en una sèrie de pel·lícules d'èxit. Durant quatre anys, els Estats Units es van apassionar per les seves pel·lícules. Va ser la primera a rebre un Oscar per a joves actors i apareix per això al llibre Guinness de Rècords. D'una gran saviesa i envoltada d'una família honrada, va posar fi a la seva carrera cap a l'edat de 20 anys, sentint que el seu futur era en un altre lloc diferent de Hollywood.

Biography

Shirley Temple Black (born Shirley Jane Temple; April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014) was an American actress, singer, dancer, and diplomat, who was Hollywood's number-one box-office draw as a child actress from 1934 to 1938. Later, she was named United States Ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia, and also served as Chief of Protocol of the United States.

Temple began her film career at the age of three in 1931. Two years later, she achieved international fame in Bright Eyes, a feature film produced especially for her talents. She received a special Juvenile Academy Award in February 1935 for her outstanding contribution as a juvenile performer in motion pictures during 1934. Film hits such as Curly Top and Heidi followed year after year during the mid- to late 1930s. Temple capitalized on licensed merchandise that featured her wholesome image; the merchandise included dolls, dishes, and clothing. Her box-office popularity waned as she reached adolescence. She appeared in 29 films from the ages of 3 to 10, but in only 14 films from the ages of 14 to 21. Temple retired from film in 1950 at the age of 22.

In 1958, Temple returned to show business with a two-season television anthology series of fairy tale adaptations. She made guest appearances on television shows in the early 1960s and filmed a sitcom pilot that was never released. She sat on the boards of corporations and organizations, including the Walt Disney Company, Del Monte Foods, and the National Wildlife Federation.

She began her diplomatic career in 1969, when she was appointed to represent the United States at a session of the United Nations General Assembly, where she worked at the U.S. Mission under Ambassador Charles W. Yost. In 1988, she published her autobiography, Child Star.

Temple was the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Kennedy Center Honors and a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. She is 18th on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female American screen legends of classic Hollywood cinema.
