Most girls owned a celebrity Barbie when we were kids. I personally had the Cher and Farrah Fawcett Barbie’s (they had bigger feet than most Barbie’s and really long eyelashes) along with Donny and Marie Osmond adorned in their purple disco outfits.
Since then, there have been a slew of different celebrity dolls that have come and gone with the times. Every generation has had their own, from television star Barbies to political figure dolls.
Here’s a look at some of the different celebrity dolls that you may, or may not remember.

__________
- 1967 Twiggy Barbie, the first celebrity Barbie.

__________
John Travolta’s 1977 12″ doll

This brought back memories. I too had the Cher doll and Donny and Marie. I don’t remember what happened to Cher but I still have Marie whose hair I chopped off and my one legged Donny doll. My brother broke it off one day and threw it up in a tree and we were never able to get it down.
