Lana Turner: Hollywood Royalty “Portrait of an Era” FAO Schwarz Giftset /2009 LT005 & Barbie Hollywood Movie Stars “Between Takes” Gown /2000 27684 – (Redressed)
$78.99DRESSED. This Integrity Toys representation of Lana Turner, the Hollywood “golden age” MGM studio movie actress who rose to fame in the 1940s and 50s, is a stunning lady with short golden blonde hair in original vintage factory style, heavily gelled to stay in place. She is like new, out of the box, on her original “wasp waist” Japan tone tall body, with pale blue eyes and applied lashes in fairly good shape. Admittedly, this doll is not a perfect likeness of Ms. Turner when compared to commonly available photos of the actress. However, with her serene expression, this doll expertly channels reserved Hollywood royalty – and, not to diminish Ms. Turner, we dare to say this doll seems more beautiful and sophisticated than the actress herself in her prime.
Mini Lana comes wearing a pair of tiny stud “diamond earrings. Also included is the sublimely elegant pale mint green satin floor-length mermaid gown she’s modeling, from the Barbie Hollywood Movie Stars “Between Takes” doll by Mattel. The gown features a lavish back train, front pleated chiffon inset at the knees, and large serge-hemmed train of chiffon split and secured at the back of the waist to form twin bundled swaths positioned under each arm, going up over the chest area, and secured just below the neck with a gold detailed brooch/medallion. Twin necklace-like triple strands of tiny white faux pearls, attached to the medallion/brooch, create halter straps that fasten at the back of the neck with an “S” hook and loop. Snaps secure the back of the dress. Also included is a bracelet fashioned from matching tiny faux white pearls strung on a double strand of stretch beading thread so that the bracelet easily slips on over the hand. And finally, a pair of standard white flex-vinyl “Candi” strappy heels that fit a variety of fashion dolls is included.
