The Talented Kathy Johnson, Pt. 3

When I received the Tonner Mrs. Charles Hamilton doll, I loved the back of her hairstyle, but the huge curls in front were atrocious. Compare with a still from the movie:



I decided to give this doll a second chance by sending her to Kathy Johnson in Oregon for a little restyling. Here's the result:



Thanks to Kathy's skill, this Scarlett has avoided being sold off on ebay.

Rhett Butler: Return to Charleston

I figured a good place to put Rhett Butler was Charleston, the city he was going to after he told Scarlett he didn’t give a damn. Wearing the white suit he wore when he rescued Scarlett from Atlanta and the Burning Depot, Rhett looks mighty dapper. The Franklin Mint sure did a great job in the sculpt of this vinyl portrait doll; probably the best likeness of Clark Gable I have seen. Neither of the Tonner versions come anywhere close to this one; Mattel’s version is very good, but in the 16" vinyl category, the Franklin Mint wins hands down.
