C

elebrities have inspired
doll manufacturers
and artists alike
for generations.
From antique, vintage cloth and
composition dolls, to modern
interpretations in felt, resin and
exciting innovative doll-making
mediums, the larger-than-life rich
and famous have been and continue
to be immortalized in the smallscale sculptures we know and love
as dolls. Hollywood never misses
a chance to develop successful
marketing campaigns based on their
biggest assets - the stars. It was
the great silent film actress, Mary
Pickford, who was the first artist to
be credited with marketing her own
image as a doll. Ms. Pickford didn't
realize the challenges that she would
encounter in making a doll of herself.

WINTER 2019

Standing at 16-inches tall, "Dorothy" is fullyjointed at shoulders, hips and neck with the
R. John Wright ball & socket jointing system
and internal wood mechanism.

UFDC's 2019 Convention theme
is "Star Struck," with focus on
celebrity dolls of the screen, stage
and doll world. Our souvenir doll
artists, R. John and Susan Wright
are movie buffs, as well as historical
buffs, and were drawn to the period
spanning the introduction of sound
to the beginning of the demise of
the studio system, 1927-1948, which
is often referred to as the Golden
Age of Hollywood. The Wright's also
admire the earlier films of the silent
era and offer an intriguing glimpse
into their personal inspiration to
develop a celebrity line for R. John
Wright Dolls. Like Mary Pickford,
they found the challenge to making
celebrity dolls.
The Wizard of Oz was in their sites
for many years before they finally
negotiated a license from Warner
