Retro Celebrity Dolls & Barbies

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.
