One of her first film roles was in Bright Eyes, for which she won a special Academy Award. It was in that film that she sang "On the Good Ship Lollipop"; though she often sang in her films, that was probably her most famous song. She subsequently starred in many films including Heidi, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and Susannah of the Mounties. By the late 1930s she was the biggest box-office attraction in motion pictures, and the success of her films may have saved more than one major studio from bankruptcy during the Great Depression. The role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, played by Judy Garland, was originally intended for her. Temple retired from film acting in her early twenties. Later appearances on television did not prove as popular as her films.

She subsequently became involved in Republican Party politics under her married name, entering a Congressional race in 1967. She went on to hold several diplomatic posts, representing the United States in the United Nations in 1969-70 and serving as American ambassador to Ghana (1974) and Czechoslovakia (1989).
