Shirley Temple was an American actress, singer, and dancer who achieved fame as a child star during the 1930s. She was known for her curly blonde hair, dimples, and precocious personality. Temple starred in a string of successful films, including Bright Eyes (1934), Curly Top (1935), and Heidi (1937). She was awarded a special Academy Award in 1934 for her "outstanding contribution to screen entertainment".
Temple's popularity waned in the late 1930s as she grew older. She continued to act in films and on television, but she never achieved the same level of entertainment success as she had as a child. In the 1950s, Temple entered politics and served as a United States ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia. She later retired from public life and became a successful businesswoman.
