Google is honouring the icon Shirley Temple on what would have been her 93rd birthday with a doodle showing Shirley in all of her various professions.
The acclaimed actress, singer and diplomat had an extraordinary and accomplished life, full of soaring success and equal parts challenge.
Born to a banker father and housewife mother and brought up during the Great Depression, Shirley's career started at just three years old after her mother enrolled her in dance classes as a toddler.
Her father became her agent and financial adviser.
Legend has it - the classic Shirley Temple cocktail came about after a bartender made Shirley her own special, alcohol free cocktail when she went out for drinks with her grown-up Hollywood colleagues.
Shirley's first credited role was in the film War Babies, in which she mimicked an adult sex worker. In her autobiography, she went on to say that the show was 'a cynical exploitation of our childish innocence.'
In her debut year as an actress, Shirley featured in 12 films and she went on to star in dozens more Hollywood movies including Bright Eyes and Little Colonel.
From there began her gruelling but celebrated career as a child actor - of which she retired from age 22.
In that time, Shirley also married her first husband John Agar when she was just 17. The pair made two films together and had one daughter but the marriage was troubled.
Shirley later filed for divorce, claiming that John had subjected her to 'mental cruelty' over the course of their marriage but she married again when she was just 22.
Her second husband, Charles Black, was an intelligence officer. Charles and Shirley stayed together until his death in 2014.
In that time they went on to have two children - one of whom, Lori Black - became a well-known grunge bassist for the band the Melvins.
Lori, who has had various drug-related offences, credits her mum for helping her kick her drug habit.
Shirley Temple's changing career
As Shirley reached her early twenties, she struggled to land major roles and her public popularity was waining.
She instead turned her focus to a career in public service, running - unsuccessfully - for a US congressional seat in 1967. Although she didn't win a seat in congress, she went on to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the late 60s.
Temple was appointed ambassador to Ghana in 1974 and two years later, she became chief of protocol of the United States and then honorary U.S. Foreign Service officer.
She served as the United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia in the early 90s and was the first and only female in this job.
Shirley sadly passed away on 10 February 2014 aged 84 of pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She died at her home near San Francisco in California.
