Shirley Temple
天使般的小童星——秀兰·邓波儿

Shirley Temple Black (1928-2014) was a Hollywood's quintessential child star during the 1930s and 1940s and became a diplomat in later years. Born in Santa Monica, California, Temple was taken to dancing classes at age three by her mother, who pursued her daughter's film career, toting her around to various Hollywood studios. Her strategy succeeded. Temple began her film career in 1932. And then Little Miss Marker catapulted the six-year-old Temple to stardom. In 1934, she found international fame in Bright Eyes . She received a special Juvenile Academy Award in 1935 for her outstanding contribution as a juvenile performer to motion pictures and film hits such as Curly Top and Heidi followed year after year during the mid-to-late 1930s. An entire industry had sprung up whose products celebrated the glories of Shirley Temple.
秀兰·邓波儿·布莱克(1928—2014)是20世纪30年代至40年代好莱坞璀璨的童星，之后成为美国外交家。邓波儿生于美国加利福尼亚州的圣莫尼卡。为了追求女儿的电影事业，3岁时邓波儿的母亲便安排她进入幼儿舞蹈学校接受训练，而且经常带她去各个好莱坞片场。计划终于奏效，邓波儿在1932年开始了电影生涯。影片《小麻烦》让6岁的她声名鹊起。1934年，她凭借《亮眼睛》闻名全球。1935年，因作为青少年演员对电影事业做出杰出贡献，她被授予第7届奥斯卡青少年特别金像奖。在20世纪30年代中后期，《小卷毛》和《海蒂》相继获得成功。整个有关秀兰·邓波儿的销售产业也因此迅速发展。

Her box office popularity waned as she reached adolescence. She retired completely from films in 1950. Yet, her ongoing struggles as an adult would prove her to be as heroic in her own life. She began her diplomatic career in 1969, with an appointment to represent the United States at a session of the United Nations General Assembly. She survived breast cancer and became one of the first women to speak openly about the disease. And later she became the U.S. chief of protocol. In 1988, she published her autobiography, Child Star.
步入青年时代后，她的票房吸引力不再。1950年，她完全退出影视界。然而作为成年人，她在自己人生中的努力让她依然保持女主角的风姿。她在1969年跨入外交界，担任美国驻联合国代表团代表。她成功战胜了乳腺癌，并成为第一个向公众宣传该疾病的女性。在福特总统时期，她被任命为美国礼宾司司长。1988年她出版了自传《童星》。
