Google on Wednesday honoured American actor, singer, dancer and diplomat Shirley Temple with an animated doodle.
It was on this day in 2015 that the Santa Monica History Museum opened “Love, Shirley Temple”, an exhibit featuring a collection of her rare memorabilia.
Google in its tribute said, “Not only did Temple help millions of Americans through the hardships of the Great Depression as Hollywood’s top box office draw, she also later shared her charisma with the world through her work in international relations.”
In 2006, the Screen Actors Guild presented her with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
American actor, singer, dancer and diplomat, Shirley Temple was born on April 23, 1928 in California.
She was well known for her many talents, and “signature dimples, blonde ringlet curls and strong work ethic” landed her in several movies and musicals including ‘Stand Up And Cheer’ and ‘Bright Eyes’.
At the age of 6 she received an Academy Award. She retired at 22, and gradually transitioned into full-time public service.
