Shirley Temple Black: RIP ( Age 85 )

An American icon has passed. Shirley Temple Black dead at age eighty-five, from Norman Eisen [1]:

We at Embassy Prague mourn the passing of Shirley Temple Black, U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia and Ghana, movie star, and American icon. She was Ambassador here during one of this nation’s most important moments: the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The dissidents who suddenly found themselves running the country that would become the Czech Republic welcomed her help with the transition and had fond memories of her.

A full life, well lived.
