More than just a child star
Shirley Temple didn’t have a family background in show business but she enjoyed singing, dancing and acting from a very early age. (1) She soon had her first role in a movie, and within a couple of years she had become a household name. She went on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars during the 1930s.
Unfortunately, her success didn’t last. (2) She became a lot less appealing to the public, and the two films she made in 1940 failed at the box office. Her parents felt that trying to cling on to Hollywood fame would be a mistake, so they decided it was time for a change. Shirley was taken away from Hollywood by her parents, and put into full-time education, where she enjoyed a happy five years.
The course of her life might have been very different, however. In 1939, MGM offered Shirley the role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Instead, Shirley accepted an alternative offer from her own studio, who were also keen to cast her in a leading role again. (3) The Wizard of Oz was a huge hit and made Judy Garland a star. Shirley’s film was far less successful and it was the beginning of the end for her.
After her film career finished, Shirley became interested in politics and good causes. She was a Republican and tried to win election for Congress in 1967. (4) In 1969, she became an ambassador to the United Nations. In 1974 she became US ambassador to Ghana and later she was also the US ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
She also used her fame to promote causes that were important to her. In 1972, she found that she had breast cancer. At that time, many women were reluctant to talk about the illness. This was why so many people died of it. By the time they went to see a doctor, it was often too late. (5) She held a news conference from her hospital bed. She talked about her experiences and how important it was to diagnose the illness early. Thanks to her, attitudes changed and many lives were saved.
Shirley recovered and lived for another 42 years, finally dying peacefully of natural causes at the age of 85. However, for most people, she will always be a little girl with blond curls, dancing and singing her most famous song, ‘On The Good Ship Lollipop’
