rd“in grateful recognition of her outstanding

contribution”.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Temple was celebrated by an adoring public. At

the height of her popularity, from 1935 to 1938, Temple was the biggest box-office attraction

in Hollywood. Temple made a number of films as a teenager, but her appeal had faded, and the

films were not successful. In 1949, Temple departed elegantly from Hollywood.

Two decades later, she reappeared into the spotlight(

公众注意的中心

)by announcing her

qualification as a candidate for Congress. She lost the election, but Temple displayed her

determination and went on to enjoy a long and successful career with the United Nations and the

State Department.

After retirement(

accomplishments in two of the nation’s most influential areas. “If I had to do it all over

again, ”Shirley Temple once declared, “I wouldn’t change anything. ”
