Shirley began to make movies at the age of five, and she was only nine years old when she played the
role of Heidi. In almost every part of the world where movies are seen on television, children and their
parents still enjoy Heidi and the other movies of Shirley Temple. Although she has not appeared in a film for

movies, but others knew her as an intelligent woman with knowledge of world problems. One of the people
who recognized these important abilities was President Richard M. Nixon. In 1969, he appointed (委派) her
as a representative (代表) to the United Nations, and this marked the beginning of a new career for the
former child star of the movies.
