Child Stars That Turned out Just Fine

4. Shirley Temple

Another power gal on our list of child stars that turned out just fine was once considered Hollywood’s number one movie star. The adorable curly haired Shirley Temple started her camera flirtation at the tender age of 3 and before she was 10, the entire country knew who she was. However, in 1950, the 22-year-old actress gave her farewells to the film industry and decided it was time to make a substantial change: she geared towards politics, ran for a congressional seat in 1967, and two years later was appointed as the U.S. embassador for the United Nations.
