Hedy Lamarr dolls

I think I would get a real Hedy Lamarr doll for myself, to add to my collection, even though I’m not really fond of dolls as many people already know. Some dolls like these would look nice on my shelf:

In the mean time, I may get myself some Hedy Lamarr paper  dolls. There are some vintage ones and one by Tom Tierney. Recently, there is one Hedy paper doll designed by Gregg Nystrom which looks very pretty. Mr. Nystrom is releasing another Hedy paper doll, so I’m excited about that. It’s good to see Hedy’s being remembered. Talking about popularity, Hedy is indeed being rediscovered.  Another biography is coming out this July, the Patrick Agan book is longed for by all fans, and a bio film is rumored to be made soon. I don’t have high hopes for the movie as I know Hollywood can totally screw it up and mislead people again about the real Hedy Lamarr. But the books sound quite promising!

Now back to the dolls, here is a hi-res scan of the Hedy paper doll wearing the famous Ziegfeld Girl dress that Mr. Nystrom sent me. It’s pretty!
