Gene Dolls from Ashton Drake Ashton - Drake Galleries first introduced its incredibly popular "Gene" doll in 1996. Gene Marshall is a 15 1/2" vinyl fashion doll, inspired by all the legendary screen goddesses of Hollywood's Golden Age, the '40s and '50s. She is designed by award-winning New York artist Mel Odom.

With her sultry face and knowing blue eyes, Gene has an air of sophistication that tells you that this woman has seen the world. Pictured right is the 2000 Annual Edition - Twilight Rumba..

A large part of Gene's appeal is nostalgia. Her fabulous wardrobe, with designs reminiscent of the '40's, remind one of Joan Crawford or Ingrid Bergman. This is clearly a doll for adults.

The line has been expanded to include some period furniture, and Vogue has also issued vintage sewing patterns. Values have risen sharply on the secondary market. Pictured left is the 2000 version of Simply Gene.
