Merrill 1941 Zeigfeld Girl Paperdolls

 
 
 
 

In 1941 Whitman issued a Ziegfeld Girl paper doll book based on the film. The book included Judy Garland, Lana Turner and Hedy Lamarr dolls, as well as one each of the Ziegfeld Girls from the film: Georgia Carroll, Louise La Plance, Harriet Bennett, Lorraine (?), Nina Bissell, Madeline Martin, Irma Wilson, Anya Taranda, and Alaine Brandeis.

Judy and Hedy each had six outfits from the movie, and Lana had seven. Each of the Ziegfeld Girls had one outfit. The Judy Garland doll and her outfits are displayed here. I was lucky enough to find a set, though it was already cut out and without the book. I don't even know if it's a complete set. This set came with an 8x10 glossy of one of the Ziegfeld Girls and a print of all of them together. I don't know if those items were originally included with the book or not. I paid $125 for this set. The uncut book, if you can find it, will often fetch $300 or more! (as of 1997)
