Miss Marilyn Monroe (Porcelain) All About Eve by The Franklin Mint

This doll was displayed in a glass case (not "played" with), however, she did suffer some minor damage during a move. The damage is hardly noticeable at all. Her left pinky finger was broken, and the heel of her left shoe was broken, but her dress covers her shoes and when posed facing forward or to her left, these small flaws are not visible at all.. Because she is vintage, this doll has been professionally cleaned with her hair washed and restyled into its original look.

All clothing pictured has been professionally cleaned and steam pressed. Miss Monroe wears a white damask patterned silk evening gown. The gown is strapless, with ruching at the bodice from the bust line to the waistline. Small pearls have been custom- added to the front of the gown along the line of the ruching, as well as at the small of the back of the dress. The dress goes on to hug Miss Monroe's curves all the way to the feet with a slit up the back to calf length.

The dress also features a beautiful over skirt of soft white gathered tulle, and a silk flower corsage at the waist. Over this she wears a removable White "fur" coat, with bell sleeves and which is also full-length falling to her feet. Her shiny blonde hair is styled in a curly updo with curls framing her face and neck. To finish the look for "Miss Caswell" Miss Monroe wears sparkly dangling "diamond" earrings. Her doll stand is included with this lot. It's hard to watch a Marilyn Monroe performance without feeling utterly enraptured by her.

The actress was a total scene-stealer, a quality she embodied to a tee in the 1950 film All About Eve. Her role as the ambitious (if not marginally air-headed) Claudia Caswell was a massive step up for Monroe, who until then had little big screen experience. She'd just had a successful turn in roles, so landing a part in a Joseph L.

Mankiewicz project meant that her star was finally on the rise in a big way. This item is in the category "Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets". The seller is "babywhatwhat" and is located in this country: US.
