GREER GARSON 1







GREER GARSON 1. This is doll #1 of a deluxe 3 doll set of the MGM star of the 1940's. Rather than a generic fashion parade, this set features actual costumes worn in her films. The artwork here is extraordinary, well above average for a paper doll set. 
Dolls 2 & 3 are found in the posts that follow.

This would make a unique Christmas gift for a paper doll friend. All you have to do is print out the pages. Glue the doll to heavy poster board, cut her out and place it all in a colored folder tied with a ribbon.
