Temple抯 film career began in 1932 and she found international fame two years later aged just six in the film Bright Eyes, which was famous for the song On the Good Ship Lollipop. The youngster was seen with her hair in curls, and the unforgettable perform5ance made her one of the biggest box office(票房收入) draws of the era. She was awarded a Juvenile Academy Award in 1935 and starred in films such as Curly Top and The Littlest Rebel, helping the US cope with the depression of the 1930s. And she was credited with helping save the film company 20th Century Fox from being bankrupt.
But after retiring from the entertainment world in her early 20s ?with a special Oscar under her belt for the movie Stand up and Cheer when she was six ?she carved out a role as a distinguished diplomat, serving as the US ambassador to Ghana and Czechoorslovakia.
Temple was also a delegate to several international commissions and was involved with the United Nations. She was the first woman to serve as US chief of protocol(礼仪) in the Department of State.
Her public service saw her on the advisory council and board of directors for numerous organizations involved with anything from criminal justice to health charities or wildlife bodies. She also sat on the board of directors for the Bank of California and the Walt Disney Company.
