Celebrity Doll Auction In Los Angeles This Weekend
By Denise Van Patten, About.com Guide April 7, 2011

My BioHeadlinesForumRSSWhen I lived in the Los Angeles area in the 1990s, I frequently visited the wonderful doll shop of Billie Nelson Tyrell. Billie is a well-known doll collector herself--with extensive ties to Hollywood, Billie long focused her collection on celebrity dolls. This weekend, Theriault's auction house is holding an auction of Billie's celebrity dolls from 1900 through 1950, as well as of her large collection of rare French dolls, German characters and Lenci portrait dolls.

I would very much like to attend this auction in person, but due to my continuing commitment to appear in Annie Get Your Gun this month, I am unable to. If you, however, are able to attend this auction, even if it is just to see the collection, you should take the chance. The auction takes place April 9 and 10 at a very-Hollywood location--the Sheraton Universal in Studio City.Comments (1)See All Posts Share
