Yes. Gay, non-drinking politicians reference her all the time.

She is 80 years old and retired. Here is a bit more about her many careers ... Temple ran unsuccessfully for Congress against retired Korean War veteran Pete McCloskey in 1967. She ran on a platform supporting America's involvement in the Vietnam War. She was in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on August 21, 1968 when the Prague Spring was ended by an invasion of Soviet tanks. A convoy of vehicles was assembled for hundreds of Westerners to leave Prague and Shirley Temple Black was in the first car of the convoy to the Czech border, apparently facilitating escape of the Westerners by her name recognition. Temple went on to hold several diplomatic posts, serving as the U.S. delegate to many international conferences and summits. She was appointed a delegate to the United Nations by President Richard M. Nixon in 1969. She was appointed United States Ambassador to Ghana (1974–76). She became the first female Chief of Protocol of the United States in 1976, which put her in charge of all State Department ceremonies, visits, gifts to foreign leaders and co-ordination of protocol issues with all U.S. embassies and consulates. She was United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia (1989–92) and witnessed the Velvet Revolution. She commented, about her Ambassadorship, "That was the best job I ever had." She was designated the first Honorary Foreign Service Officer in U.S. history by then U.S. Secretary of State, George Shultz in 1987. Temple served on the board of directors of some large enterprises including The Walt Disney Company (1974–75), Del Monte, Bancal Tri-State, and Fireman's Fund Insurance. Her non-profit board appointments included the Institute for International Studies at Stanford University, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Council of American Ambassadors, the World Affairs Council, the United States Commission for UNESCO, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the United Nations Association, and the U.S. Citizen's Space TaskForce. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Temple_Black
