18.Shirley Temple Black,who died on February 10at age 85,was not just a child star.She was that child star-the sweet little girl whose movies helped brighten some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.
It is hard today to imagine the hit that was Shirley-"America's Little Darling".She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes,Curly Top and Heidi.By 1940,she had appeared in 43films.Temple teamed with Bill"Bojangles"Robinson in four movies,and their tap dance on a staircase in The Little Colonel is still a legendary (傳奇性的) film moment.
She even has an Oscar statuette.Temple received a special honorary Academy Award in 1934for her outstanding contributions as a child film star.She was six years old!In the 1930s,her name on a movie subtitle assured a packed house.She inspired dolls,dresses,dishes-even a drink (alcohol-free,of course).
US President Franklin D.Roosevelt once famously said that"as long as our country has Shirley Temple,we will be all right".
Unlike so many of today's child stars,Temple didn't end up with her name splashed across (四處沾染) the headlines for bad behavior.Instead of getting her face on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol,Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交),including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
By most accounts,she surprised a lot of skeptics with her grace,knowledge and eagerness to serve.In fact,her career in public service (20years) was longer than her career in movies (19years).
The role she treasured most,however,was as wife,mother,grandmother and great-grandmother.
The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend.But her movies will allow that little energetic lady to continue charming audiences for a very long time.
