With the 20th stamp in the Legends of Hollywood series, the U.S. Postal Service honors actress and diplomat Shirley Temple Black (1928–2014). As a child, Temple was the most famous film star in the world; as an adult, Black had a distinguished career in diplomacy, serving as a delegate to the United Nations, U.S. ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia, and U.S. Chief of Protocol. She received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1998 and a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild in 2006. The stamp art features a painting by Tim O\u0027Brien based on a 1935 still image from Curly Top, one of her iconic movie roles. The selvage features a publicity photo from the 1933 short film, Managed Money. The Shirley Temple artwork is based on photos courtesy of © Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. The stamp pane includes selvage and verso text. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp and pane.
