Shirley Jane Temple: A Famous Actor During The Great Depression
Do you know of any famous actor during the Great Depression? It was a rare thing, but I, Shirley Jane Temple, accomplished the job. I was born on April 23rd, 1928 in Santa Monica, California, to Gertrude and George Temple. I was nicknamed ‘Little Miss Miracle’ for saving Fox Studios, because without me they would have most likely had to shut down their studio.

My acting career faded away as I got older, and by the time I was in my early 30’s, my acting career had ended. Many of my later movies only had a few people at their showings. With a lot of spare time on my hands, I did a lot of community service. Community service was my adult hobby. When I was thirty-nine I ran for a US congressional seat, but I didn't win. After that, Senator Nixon appointed me as a delegate to the United Nation, which I had from 1969-1970. Four years later, when I was 48, President Nixon appointed me to be the ambassador of Ghana. In 1989 I was appointed by President Bush to be the United States ambassador to Czechoslovakia, which I kept from 1989-1992. I had won many awards, some for community service, others for acting. In 1972 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, but I went through surgery and survived it. I was healthy for a while, then in the March of 2014, I died from pneumonia and COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary
