Madame Alexander was an American entrepreneur who created the first "collectible" dolls based on a licensed character - Scarlett O'Hara from the book and movie Gone with the Wind. She also is credited with making the first mass-produced dolls in honor of living people, with a set of 36 Queen Elizabeth II dolls to commemorate the 1953 coronation celebrations in Britain. Most recently, in 2002 two Judy Garland portrait dolls were introduced. Other popular dolls have been 'Pussycat' a large baby doll dressed in fine coat and dress and a Mary, Queen of Scots Portrait Doll as well as Heidi and a series international dolls in native costumes.
