Despite being the stereotypical picture of a child star, Shirley Temple’s film career did not last as long as people believe. Temple decided to leave the movie profession at the age of 22 after spending her youth in the spotlight. She later appeared on television in Shirley Temple’s Storybook and had a successful diplomatic career as a registered Republican. From 1989 to 1992, she served as the United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia. Her celebrity lasted so long that a cocktail was named after her. Temple died of COPD in 2014, at the age of 85.
