"Rita Hayworth" Composition Doll, 1940s
submitted by Wendy Sainato
Last September, my grandmother passed away in
Iowa. My mother had gone to Iowa to get her so that she could come back to
California, where we live, to celebrate Christmas and the Millenium with us.
Unfortunately, before she was able to come back she had a massive stroke and died.
I went back to Iowa to help my mother. My mother told me that my grandmother
had saved her favorite play doll, Rita Hayworth. She had been laying in an old
cabinet all this time. My mother told me that she did only her very "best"
playing with Rita which probably attributes to her still excellent condition. Rita
is 14" tall and all composition. She is dressed as Carmen and made in the
1940's. Rita now has a new home in my cabinet in California.
