Hollywood
beauty, Arlene Dahl, soon to become a beautiful paper doll.
In
the 1950's, one star was high in the Hollywood firmament and hailed
as the most beautiful woman on the screen. That was Arlene Dahl whose
flaming tresses, creamy complexion and signature beauty mark were
nothing short of breathtaking. Of course, she was the ideal subject
for a paper doll then and now that paper dolls are being rediscovered
by a new generation of collectors, she is once again going to be captured
in a new book published by Paper Studio Press. Norma-Lu Meehan,
an artist of great reknown, has landed the plum assignment of creating
this new book which will feature Arlene Dahl at the peak of her fame
along with her costumes and wardrobe.
Although
she made comparatively few films before leaving Hollywood to become
a successful businesswoman, beauty columnist, writer and famed astrologer,
Miss Dahl made an indelible mark in cinematic history. From her first
big starring role in "My Wild Irish Rose," her beauty made
her the center of attention. Her film credits include "Three Little
Words," "Slightly Scarlet," and "Journey to the
Center of the Earth."
Arlene
Dahl's personal life was subjected to the kind of public fascination
that the Kardashians generate today. Her high profile marriage
to handsome Fernando Lamas produced a son, Lorenzo, who is today, in
fact, the subject of a reality TV show with his daughter, Shayne Lamas."Leave
it to Lamas" is broadcast on the E Channel.
Fame
may be fleeting for some, but Arlene Dahl is as glamorous and busy as
ever. She is enthusiastic about making a new appearance as a paper doll
scheduled for publication in 2010.
