Shirley Temple, iconic child star, dies at 85

Besides being the U.S. ambassador to Ghana, she was also . . .

a delegate to the U.N.

the U.S. ambassador to Czechoslovakia, . . .

but don't look for it, as it no longer exists in that form, as the 1 became 2. Czecho being the western looking part of the country, and Slovakia being the eastern looking part of the country they came apart a number of years ago in what became known as the Velvet Revolution.

U.S. Chief of Protocol

Ran for Congress in California, but lost in the Republican primary to anti-war Vietnam vet Pete McCloskey.

Hostess of TV's "Shirley Temple Theater," . . .

and the "Rapunzel" episode still scares the s### out of me over 50 years after I first saw it.

Twice tried out for "Our Gang/Little Rascals" and failed both times.

And topless actress. Of course, she was only 4 years old, when she first started appearing in the "Baby Burlesk" series of shorts.

R.I.P. Shirley.

Flights of angels sing you to your rest.
