  Shirley Temple, who was one of the most iconic child stars of the 20th century, has died. She was 85.
  The dimpled actress found fame at the height of the Great Depression in movies including Heidi, Curly Top and Bright Eyes and later served as US ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
  Born in Santa Monica, Calif., in April 1928, Temple was enrolled in dance school at the age of three.
  After a number of bit parts she stole the show with her rendition of Baby Take a Bow in her first feature film, Stand Up and Cheer.
  Audiences around the world flocked to see her in films such as Curly Top, The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel. Licensed merchandise including dolls, dishes, and clothing also capitalized on her wholesome image.
  Temple was the top box-office draw for four years in a row between 1935 and 1938. She won a special Academy Award in early 1935 for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the previous year.
  At the height of her fame, Temple earned praise from President Franklin D. Roosevelt who called her “Little Miss Miracle” for raising the public’s morale during times of economic hardship, even going so far as to say that, “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.”
  She even had a drink named after her, an appropriately sweet and innocent cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.
  However, the star’s popularity waned in her late teens.
  She married Charles Black in 1950, a marriage that lasted until his death in 2005 at age 86.
  Temple went on to sit on the boards of corporations and organizations including the Walt Disney Company, Del Monte and the National Wildlife Federation. She unsuccessfully ran for Congress as a Republican in 1967. She was appointed as America’s ambassador to Ghana in 1974.
  In 1988, Temple became the first person to achieve the rank of honorary Foreign Service officer of the United States and a year later she took up the post of ambassador to Czechoslovakia, where she served until 1992.
  In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the top 50 screen legends ranked Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.
  “I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award. Start early,” she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild.
  Temple is survived by children Linda Susan, Charlie Jr. and Lori, along with granddaughter Teresa and two great-granddaughters Lily and Emma.
  20世纪最著名的标志性童星秀兰·邓波儿去世,享年85岁。
  美国经济大萧条达到顶峰时,有着酒窝的邓波儿声名鹊起,出演了《海蒂》《卷毛头》《亮眼睛》,之后担任美国驻加纳和(前)捷克斯洛伐克大使。
  邓波儿于1928年4月出生于加州圣莫尼卡,3岁开始进入舞蹈学校学习。
  出演了很多小角色后,邓波儿在她的第一部剧情片《起立欢呼》中,因饰演“宝贝答谢”片断而大放异彩。
  全世界的观众蜂拥观看她的影片,如《卷毛头》《小上校》和《小叛军》。很多特许商品,包括洋娃娃、餐具和衣服,都因她阳光可人的形象代言而大卖特卖。
  从1935年到1938年,邓波儿连续四年成为最有票房影响力的明星。1935年上半年,她因上一年“为电影界做出的杰出贡献”获得了奥斯卡金像奖特别奖。
  在邓波儿事业的巅峰,总统富兰克林·罗斯福对她大加赞赏,并称她为“传奇小美女”,因为她在经济困难时期大大振奋了民众的士气,影响深远。他甚至说:“只要我们国家有秀兰·邓波儿,我们都会好起来的。”
  人们甚至还以她的名字命名一款鸡尾酒,这种酒甜味刚好,带有淡淡的姜汁和石榴汁味道,酒上还点缀着一颗马拉斯奇诺樱桃。
  然而,她的名气在十八九岁时开始减弱。
  1950年她嫁给查尔斯·布莱克,这段婚姻持续到2005年查尔斯86岁去世时才终结。
  邓波儿继续担任包括华特迪斯尼公司、德尔蒙特公司和美国国家野生动物联盟的董事会成员。1967年,她以共和党人身份竞选国会议员,但未能如愿当选。1974年,她被任命为美国驻加纳大使。
  1988年,邓波儿成为美国首位荣誉外交官,一年后她接任美国驻(前)捷克斯洛伐克大使,一直工作到1992年。
  1999年,美国电影协会对50位荧屏传奇人物进行排名,邓波儿在入围的25名女星中排名第18位。
  “我对那些想获得终生成就奖的人有一条建议,那就是早点儿开始。”她在2006接受美国电影工会授予荣誉时调侃道。
  邓波儿有三个孩子,琳达·苏珊、小查理和洛瑞,一个孙女特里萨和两个重孙女莉莉和艾玛,她的生命得到了延续。
