From 1967-1992 (25 years!):
Following her venture into television, Temple became active in the Republican Party in California, where, in 1967, she ran unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in a special election to fill a vacant seat. She ran as a conservative and lost to liberal Republican Pete McCloskey, a staunch opponent of the Vietnam War. In the autumn of 1972, Temple was diagnosed with breast cancer. The tumor was malignant and removed, and a modified radical mastectomy performed. Following the operation, she announced it to the world via radio, television, and a February 1973 article for the magazine McCall's. In doing so, she became one of the first prominent women to speak openly about breast cancer.
Temple was appointed Representative to the 24th General Assembly of theUnited Nations by President Richard M. Nixon (September - December 1969), and was appointed United States Ambassador to Ghana (December 6, 1974 - July 13, 1976) by President Gerald R. Ford. She was appointed first female Chief of Protocol of the United States (July 1, 1976 - January 21, 1977), and was in charge of arrangements for President Jimmy Carter's inauguration and inaugural ball. She served as the United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia(August 23, 1989 - July 12, 1992), having been appointed by President George H. W. Bush.
Temple has served on numerous boards of directors of large enterprises and organizations including The Walt Disney Company, Del Monte, Bank of America, the Bank of California, BANCAL Tri-State, Fireman's Fund Insurance, the United States Commission for UNESCO, the United Nations Association, and theNational Wildlife Federation.

Overall, none of her children achieved the same level of fame as their mother.
Did Shirley Temple ever get spanked?
No, No, No!! Shirley's mother was a wonderful woman, called The Genius Behind Shirley Temple. She believed that if a child didn't like a certain vegetable, and another vegetable would do just as well, that was fine with her. (Very unusual parental philosophy at that time.) She did believe in discipline when absolutely needed. (Though she may have spanked Shirley once or twice, Shirley has written that she hardly felt it.) She believed in fun, and told Shirley that if Shirley continued to be a good girl, she would continue to have fun...Shirley's day on the lot was started with a visit to the child star's bantam chickens...at the end of the day, Shirley took home an egg for the next day's breakfast. Shirley has written that when not actively making a film, every day at the studio seemed like a party. Shirley's Mom also let Shirley have what we would call down-time at home also, and Shirley developed the ability to keep herself amused, and developed also a love of reading. When Shirley awoke every morning, the first thing she saw was a flower, that Mrs. Temple made sure was set on the table next to Shirley's bed. Shirley's Mom enjoyed dancing, and all her children had tap lessons. Mrs. Temple however recognized Shirley's great talent, and was the intelligence behind Shirley's training (some lessons were at the famous Meglin Dance Studio) and Shirley's very early filmic efforts. Mrs. Temple made things easy for Shirley, for example coached her on the set (advising her how to combat, so to speak, the scene stealing that (other) actors can/would do). Mrs. Temple also handled interpersonal matters, I.E. she knew how to be pleasant and kind to others on the lot, as well as being focused on Shirley's career. (Of course, her major concern was her daughter, who was very young for such an outstanding, world-wide iconic career). Shirley herself, as an adult, has said she doesn't know how her Mother could do it all. Even in recent time, a Shirley Temple Contract (as in actors/actresses asking to have a Shirley Temple Contract), meant to have a contract with many (humane) perks (as well as good pay). And Mrs. Temple had two other offspring also!--two boys--and it was said that she was very fond of her whole family...when one offspring's life was somewhat settled, she went on to the next offspring, and addressed their concerns... and she had a pleasant marriage, it would seem, which she was very involved with (did you know Shirley's Dad was in a special compartment under the Rose Bowl Grand Marshall float the child star sat on, in 1939?). When Shirley was (temporarily) considered Too Old (in early 1940's) for film work, Mrs. Temple took just as active a role in Shirley's high-school career (at Westlake School)!!!! Mrs. Temple was both creative, very organized, and very loving. An amazing woman.
