I believe the little miss no name doll came about after the rise of the large eye paintings by Margaret Keane. The sad waif look was in.

Does anyone remember swingy? She had batteries and would walk across the floor. She had styrofoam pads on bottom of feet that when got dirty she wouldn’t walk. She had blonde hair.

Does anyone remember a doll that had long blonde hair and the commercial was of the doll on a roof. She seemed to be an orphan but the doll is not Little Miss No Name.
And I believe the commercial was in the 60’s. The doll was a very attractive blonde girl doll.
I can’t remember her name, nor can I find her on any web site to date. HELP!

Blythe used to creep me out. Shudder. It seemed as though her face were burnt and stretched tight. The tortured doll, I used to call her. And those HUGE eyes.

My sister had Little Miss No Name. That doll reminded me of the starved children under the Ghost of Christmas Present’s cloak – from a cartoon version of “A Christmas Carol.”

Thanks for sharing these dolls from my childhood.

BTW – do you remember Mattel’s Beautiful Creatures? More eeewww!

Love your photos of the PETEENA Poodle Doll. They are very beautifully done. Back in the 60s I coveted that doll when I first saw it for sale in the grocery store with my mother. Alas I wasn’t allowed to purchase one– but have enjoyed seeing your pictures of her and refreshing my memory of what she looked like. I particularly love the one of her in the grocery store!
