I didn't know she was still alive....

She was a US Ambassador. I adored her movies when I was a child.

As actress Shirley Temple, she was precocious, bouncy and adorable with a head of curly hair, tap-dancing through songs like "On The Good Ship Lollipop." As Ambassador Shirley Temple Black, she was soft-spoken and earnest in postings in Czechoslovakia and Ghana, out to disprove concerns that her previous career made her a diplomatic lightweight.


"I have no trouble being taken seriously as a woman and a diplomat here," Black said after her appointment as U.S. ambassador to Ghana in 1974. "My only problems have been with Americans who, in the beginning, refused to believe I had grown up since my movies."

As a young boy I wasn't really into her movies but remember admiring her talent.

Never into her but RIP lady.

 

[Whaw-Whew]

At least she didn't get into drugs like the new generation child actors are doing.

She lived a great life, married twice-the first when she was 17. The second lasted 54 years and she died with a net worth of 30 million to leave her family and she saw great-grandchildren. RIP.
