Lovely paper
doll in a much-loved condition. But you can still identify her face
and the figure
Favorite stage and
film musical actress. She indeed is "Peter Pan"
.........(the mid-1950's) on stage and TV. Peter Pan flew on stage to
the delight of children, old and young.
During the late 40's
she enchanted audiences with her performance on Broadway in Rodgers
and Hammerstein's "South Pacific" with Ezio Pinza.
"Some Enchanted Evening" sums up the theme of the magical play.
Madame Alexander
created a hard plastic doll version of Mary in the sailor uniform she
wears in the Broadway musical.
