Brenda Starr is one of my favorite dolls. There is so much we do not know about her & a lot we do. Here are some things that I have learned. Brenda Starr was issued in 1964 by Madame Alexander. She was out for a year and was discontinued due to royalties. Madame Alexander then re-issued her a Yolanda in 1965. Yolanda was discontinued in 1966. In 2003 Effanbee Doll Company bought the rights to Brenda Starr. They introduced Brenda Starr in 2003. In 2004 the line was extended with Daphne Dimples and in 2005 with Basil St John. They retired the line in 2007. Both Madame Alexander & Effanbee Brenda Starr dolls are popular still.
This blog is about Brenda Starr #900 by Madame Alexander. She comes with a doll, chemise, shoes, a stand & a hair booklet. She has many clothes. The doll comes with clothes or only clothes. It is hard to find all her clothes & then was no booklet on the clothes. Any information you have would be great.
Here are the outfits I know of. Do you know if an outfit I missed? Do you have the booklet Madame Alexander Doll Fashion Parade of 1964? I would love a copy for the blog. I have seen #955 with the doll and without is the product number the same? If so are the missing number Brenda Starr outfits or just Madame Alexander product numbers for different dolls. I know that Cissette doll clothes use some of these product numbers too.
In 1965 Mattel came out with Tutti Barbie's little sister. She was poseable in her arm and legs. She comes in blonde & brunette hair colors. She was available through 1971, but in European & Canada, she was available until the 1980s.

In 1969 Mattel came out with Julia. She was one of the first celebrity Barbie. She came from the popular TV show, Julia. She was available until 1972.
Julia's doll comes with a nurse's uniform, hat, and white shoes. Her hair was dark brown/black. Over time her hair can oxidize to a shade of red.
