Guest dkaley Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I am interested in finding a Barbie as Elisabeth Taylor doll. Anyone have any ideas where I could find one?
KATHIEC Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 There are usually several listed on eBay, both the version in the lavender dress and Cleopatra.
KELLYANNE Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Didn't they also do a beautiful father of the bride one too? They did a good job with that face mold I think.
KATHIEC Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Wow, how could I have forgotten that one! You're right, it's a beautiful doll.
JUDYRAE Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 There were three Elizabeth Taylor dolls made: Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra Elizabeth Taylor in Father of the Bride (GORGEOUS wedding gown) Elizabeth Taylor in the lavendar dress she wore when she got her Oscar for Butterfield 8. Collect what you love & you will love your collection. Bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry.
TONEO_1 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I wish they make more of her. I love her in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". I wanted one as Pearl Slaghoople from "The Flinstones", but I don't really know how to style her hair that way. I'm surprised there wasn't one from "Who's Afraid of Virgina Wolff". ~ TonY ~ "Treasure time well spent with loved ones for one day they will be gone."
JUDYRAE Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I think that Maggie the Cat would be an awesome doll. I am a big fan of Elizabeth Taylor. Martha from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is not a very attractive character, either in looks or manners so I don't know how well a doll of her would sell. What has always struck me as funny is that Elizabeth Taylor hated the role she played in "Butterfield 8" & a lot of people think that she got the Oscar that year as a sympathy prize because she had been very ill after making the movie. I consider Elizabeth Taylor to be the last "Movie Star". Collect what you love & you will love your collection. Bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry.
TONEO_1 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 You're so right, Judy! The only other great classic actress I think is Sophia Loren. 2010 Italy reminds me of her. That's why I want her. I remember the same thing about Eric Clapton for "Tears In Heaven" so mnay people said he only got it because they felt sorry for hm because his son died. IMHO, that is a very beautiful song. Back to Elizabeth Taylor, I wish Mattel would make at least one more Liz doll. White Diamonds is very beautiful. WD should've been Passion because of the color. ~ TonY ~ "Treasure time well spent with loved ones for one day they will be gone."
JUDYRAE Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I always wondered why a doll in lavendar was called White Diamonds? Glad I'm not the only one. Another character that would be awesome is Angela Vickers from "A Place in the Sun", maybe in the white evening gown? Collect what you love & you will love your collection. Bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry.
Guest vesbls1572399550 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 The doll was sold with the introduction of Liz's new perfume--White Diamonds. If you bought the perfume, you could get a doll at a reduced price. That is now I got mine. Barbara
