Shirley Temple wasn’t born into a show business family but from a very young age, she loved singing, dancing and acting. Her talents soon became apparent, and she attracted the attention of a film studio. (1) _______. Two years after that, she became famous, and during the 1930s, she was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Unfortunately, her success didn’t last into her teenage years. Two films she made in 1940 failed at the box office, and her parents felt that it was time for a change. They took Shirley away from Hollywood and put her into full-time education. This was difficult for Shirley at first. (2) _______. She was used to being surrounded by adults, and being the centre of attention. However, she soon settled down and had a happy and relatively normal five years at school.

Things might have been very different, however. In 1939, MGM invited Shirley to play the part of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. (3) _______. Shirley accepted the offer from her own studio. As it turned out, The Wizard of Oz was a huge hit and made Judy Garland a star. The film that Shirley had chosen to appear in enjoyed far less success and this marked the beginning of the end for her acting career.

After the end of her film career, Shirley turned her attention to politics and charitable work. She stood as a Republican candidate in the elections to Congress in 1967, but didn’t manage to get in. (4) _______. She soon achieved this ambition and was offered the role of ambassador to the United Nations in 1969. 

In the 1970s, an illness provided her with further opportunities to help others. She found out that she was suffering from breast cancer. At that time, this disease was rarely discussed in public, and as a result of this reluctance to talk about it, cases were often identified late and a lot of women died unnecessarily. (5) _______. She talked openly about her experiences, encouraged journalists to write about it and encouraged women to come forward early for treatment if they noticed symptoms. Thanks to her, attitudes changed and many lives were saved.

Shirley recovered and lived for another 42 years, finally dying peacefully of natural causes at the age of 85. However, for most people, she will always be a little girl with blond curls, dancing and singing her most famous song, ‘On The Good Ship Lollipop’.

A After this disappointment, she set her sights on an international role.

B  At the same time, she was offered a role in a film being made by her own studio.

C  A year later, she appeared in her first film.

D  Shirley decided to use her position to break the silence on this deadly disease.
E Shirley made several attempts to get back into show business, but was not successful. 

F   During her time in Hollywood, she had never really mixed with children of her own age.
