Lana Turner: Hollywood Royalty “Iconic” /2008 LT001 & Dress Vanessa Perrin “Color Therapy” /2008 91195 – (Redressed, Boxed)

Description

REDRESSED, BOXED. This Integrity Toys representation of Lana Turner, the Hollywood “golden age” MGM studio movie actress who rose to fame in the 1940s and 50s, is a stunning lady with short platinum blonde hair in the original factory style – a severe pulled back chignon heavily gelled to stay in place. She is like new, taken from her box by a previous owner to remove clothing and accessories, then returned to the retail box. She is on her original “wasp waist” Japan tone tall body in excellent shape, with pale blue eyes and applied lashes that are in very good shape. This doll has never been displayed. Integrity used the Dania Zarr face sculpt to depict this iconic actress. Admittedly, this doll is not a perfect likeness of Ms. Turner when compared to commonly available photos. However, with her serene aloof expression, this doll expertly channels reserved Hollywood royalty. And, not to diminish Ms. Turner, we dare to say this doll seems more beautiful and sophisticated than the actress herself in her prime. She will come with the following:

• DRESS – This satiny supple rich peridot green dress has a highbrow vintage 40’s look with three-quarter sleeves and beaded sprays emblazoning the substantial shoulders. Voluminous folds of fabric cushion the neck and meet at the waist to create a deep revealing vee. The cinched waist gives this one-piece garment the impression of having a demi jacket. The straight skirt features a left-side peekaboo slit for more visual interest. This dress comes from the 2008/91195 Vanessa Perrin “Color Therapy” doll and has a back color-matched zipper and top loop/hook fasteners.
• BELT – A wide stretchy cummerbund covered in pearlized off-white sequins adds extra visual attention to the dress.
• HAT – A white faux fur headband with elastic band mimics mink or fox – a favorite of fashionable elites and movie stars back in the height of Hollywood excess.
• LEG WEAR – Nude sheer pantyhose fit snug and slip on with back seams and elastic waist.
• JEWELRY – Lana wears her original stud “diamond” earrings. A multi-strand amber micro-bead bracelet and coordinating double-strand beaded necklace with dangling strands of pink teardrop quartz – both coming from the Color Therapy ensemble. (NOTE: The necklace and bracelet have tiny metal loops and hooks for fasteners and, due to close spacing, are extremely fiddly to latch and unlatch. Needle nose pliers may prove helpful in guiding the hooks into the loops.)
• PURSE – A gold metallic hard molded plastic clutch handbag adds visual interest to the ensemble.
• SHOES – Left-right gold pleather slip-on heels have realistic looking hard soles and flexible uppers.
• STAND – Original display stand with Lucite base and telescoping saddle support is included in box.
• DOCS – COA and other documentation is stored behind the inner box that lifts out.

This doll has a distinctive vintage look worthy of any curated collection. She will come secured in her original retail box carefully packed inside an outer shipper box.
