Madame Alexander created the first doll based on a licensed character - Scarlett O'Hara from the book and movie Gone with the Wind. She was also one of the early creators of mass-produced dolls of living people, with dolls of the Dionne quintuplets in 1936 and a set of 36 Queen Elizabeth II dolls to commemorate the 1953 coronation celebrations in Britain.
