MARSHA HUNT

MARSHA HUNT.

She was what was referred to as a "B" movie actress during her Hollywood career, appearing as the female lead beside John Wayne in westerns and occasionally taking supporting parts in A list pictures like PRIDE AND PREJUDICE with Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier before eventually transitioning into television. Her performing career spanned 80 years and she lived to be 104!

 

JEAN ARTHUR

JEAN ARTHUR.

She was a popular leading lady in films of the 1930's, 40's and 50's best remembered for MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON and SHANE. Here she sports some lovely fashions from her heyday.

JUDY HOLLIDAY.

One of my favorite actresses. An Oscar winner for the film BORN YESTERDAY and Tony winner for the Broadway musical BELLS ARE RINGING, she exuded bubbly "dumb blonde" charm. In fact she was exceptionally intelligent and a shrewd businesswomen.

This is a set that I made up myself and I think it is superior to the reprint versions of her original set that are currently hard to find. Since all of my postings this week have featured bi-fold backgrounds I thought I would give Judy one too and what better than a classic Hollywood postcard, the town she took by storm.

More fun paper doll sets will be posting next week so stay tuned!

MY FAIR LADY 1964.

This is a curious little set. Although obviously a movie tie-in with the costumes based on Cecil Beaton's designs for the film, no attempt was made to fashion the dolls in the likenesses of the film's stars.

Still it is very nicely drawn and makes a lovely display set against the bi-fold background I have included to pose the dolls in front of.

DEBBIE REYNOLDS 1960.

My favorite paper dolls are those of the movie stars and from the responses on this site they seem to be yours as well. Next to Elizabeth Taylor the star with the most paper doll sets would have to be Debbie Reynolds and this one from 1960 is a real beauty. The "Bon Voyage" bi-fold background is especially nice to pose her in front of.

For other sets of Debbie check out the posts for September 2, 2023, April 3, 2024, January 21, 2026 and as one of the MGM Starlets October 26, 2023.
