4. Shirley Temple Black
Once one of the cutest kids in early show business, Shirley Temple grew up to become a United States Ambassador to Ghana in 1974. Later she was appointed as the 18th Chief of Protocol of the United States, and the U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia. Hard to imagine that the girl who stole the hearts of viewers with her iconic ringlets and impressive tap skills in the 1930s and ’40s went on to be so politically inclined, and is a great story to combat the many highlighting washed-up former child stars. Temple Black put aside her tap shoes around 1950, and in 1969 began a career in Foreign Service with the UN General Assembly, a role that was the gateway to all her future political exploits.
