Apollo 13 (1995) Jim Lovell's daughter's Midge doll

This doll was used in the 1995 Ron Howard film "Apollo 13" by actress Emily Ann Lloyd, who played Jim Lovell's (Tom Hanks) daughter Susan Lovell. 

Although identified in the CoA as a Barbie, it is actually a Midge, manufactured by Mattel in 1963 (straight legs version, #860), wearing an original Evening Splendor dress (#961) from 1959-64.

The prop belongs to my wife Vera, and it ties in nicely with her collection of vintage barbie dolls and accessories.

Interview with the Vampire (1994) Claudia Doll

From the lavish 1994 hit film "Interview with the Vampire", starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt comes this prop Doll made for the leading character Claudia, brilliantly portrayed by a very young Kirsten Dunst.

A main thread within the film's storyline is that Claudia collects Dolls, starting with visiting a Doll maker's shop, only to end up killing the owner in order to obtain the Dolls she wants. Additionally LeStat (Tom Cruise) gifts her a Doll on each of her many Birthdays although being a child vampire, she never gets physically older.

This is one of the Dolls individually hand crafted for the production. Beautifully made with accurately detailed period costume, composite body and hand painted detail. [PM]

The Pacific (2009) Virginia Grey Makeup Case

Thanks to Tim Sykes for the high-res screnshot!

This is a makeup case featuring a collection of items used by Virginia Grey (Anna Torv, of "Fringe" fame) in the 2009 television miniseries The Pacific. We first see Virginia in episode five, where she is accompanying Sgt. John Basilone (Jon Seda) on his celebrity tour. Back in their hotel room we are able to see Virginia getting a cigarette from this traveling makeup case. The case is covered with a brown reptilian pleather and features a gold snap closure, which still easily functions. The interior of the case is covered with yellow fabric and matching custom storage. The items included in the case are four matching containers, empty cylinder, two empty perfume bottles, brown cased nail kit and a makeup/cigarette clutch with lipstick holsters on both sides. [PSoL] This prop is from the collection of Vera Assunção.
