Discuss, Buy and Trade Gene Dolls with other collectors 
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. Related Most Watched Gene Dolls on Ebay NOTICE - This site is not affiliated in any with Gene TM or Ashton - Drake Galleries.
