Collector’s Guide to Celebrity
Dolls by David Spurgeon If you have ever wondered what that old celebrity doll from you childhood was worth or wanted to just look at the photos to walk down memory lane, this guide will take you there. I remember many of these dolls and owned several at one time or another. You will find movie stars, television stars, musical groups and singers, entertainers, historical figures, sport stars, biblical characters, circus stars and some miscellaneous dolls. The miscellaneous dolls include astronauts, writers and models. Remember Persis Khambatta from Star Trek? She is very collectible and a beauty even with a bald head. There are several Star Trek favorites listed along with color photos, descriptions and values. I must have missed the troll character dolls when they were being made, I don’t remember them. Madonna is a hoot with those cone boob covers and jazzy face, Marilyn Monroe wearing her famous white dress she wore standing over a vent, and Dolly Parton with a fancy smancy dress and lots of hair, who would not want to collect one of these adorable characters. There are lots more including Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley and Arnold Schwarzenegger. James Bond, Flintstones, Gone with the Wind, The Black Hole, and other movie characters are real memory grabbers. I especially like the Lucy Ball dolls; they always bring back good memories and laughs, and are very collectible. David will be your guide to celebrity doll identification, value and memories.
