Dionne Quintuplet Dolls, 1935-1939

The Dionne Quintuplets (born 1934) became international celebrities as the first quintuplets to survive infancy. Their home, dubbed "Quintland," was one of Canada's largest tourist attractions, receiving 3,000 daily visitors from 1934 to 1943. To capitalize on the Dionnes' fame, "Madame" Beatrice Alexander secured their exclusive likeness rights in the United States, and her company produced these dolls through the late 1930s.
