11 1/2″ Vinyl Lucille Ball: Lucy Does a T.V. Commercial Doll. In the Collector’s Encyclopedia of Barbie is the following description: “Celebrity Collection I Love Lucy 1998 “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” features Lucille Ball as she appeared in the May 5th, 1952 episode 30 of the classic television series I Love Lucy, where Lucy is cast as the “Vitameatavegamin Girl” in a commercial. Lucy wears a black and white houndstooth ensemble, pantyhose, a hat, and faux pearls; she has rooted eyelashes, red painted fingernails, a spoon, and a bottle of Vitameatavegamin.
I received the doll as a Mother’s Day gift in 1998.
