Shirley Temple |
 | | Temple made a number of films as a teenager-among them Miss Annie Rooney (1942), I'll Be Seeing You (1944), Since You Went Away (1944), The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer (1947), and Fort Apache (1948)-but her appeal had faded, and the films were not successful. |
 | | From 1957 to 1959 Temple narrated the television series "Shirley Temple's Storybook." In 1967 she ran, unsuccessfully, as a Republican candidate for the Congress of the United States. |
 | | Temple was a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations (1969-1970), was U.S. ambassador to Ghana (1974-1976), and became the first woman in U.S. history to serve as chief of protocol (1976-1977), during the administration of President Gerald R. Ford. |
