Vote up the famous people who most look like living dolls

A list & photo gallery of famous women who look like dolls. Gigantic eyes, porcelain skin, and dainty pointy chin = doll, right? No. That is only true when the eyes are made of glass, the skin / chin of plastic or something, and the hair of creepy doll hair. These actresses, models, and singers all look like they would like to sit at your tiny table and chat over tea, or maybe they could just sit on your shelf at night and watch you sleep. Many are models whose doll-like features keep them looking young and fresh (even if they are 5'10, like model Lily Cole). Others are entertainers who look like little children even though they have been of-age for years (Lucy Hale), much to the delight of their male fan bases. Some of these ladies even have actual dolls designed in their likeness, including pop star Selena Gomez, action hero Emily Browning (OK, fine, it's an "action figure"), and Dorothy Gale herself, Judy Garland. Vote up the celebrities who look most like dolls, and downvote famous girls and women who always appear to be 100% human.

    Carole Lombard (born Jane Alice Peters; October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942) was an American film actress. She was particularly noted for her energetic, often off-beat roles in the screwball comedies of the 1930s. She was the highest-paid star in Hollywood in the late 1930s. Lombard was born into a wealthy family in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but was raised in Los Angeles by her single mother. At 12, she was recruited by the film director Allan Dwan and made her screen debut in A Perfect Crime (1921). Eager to become an actress, she signed a contract with the Fox Film Corporation at age 16, but mainly played bit parts. She was dropped by Fox after a car accident left a scar on her face. Lombard appeared in 15 short comedies for Mack Sennett between 1927 and 1929, and then began appearing in feature films such as High Voltage and The Racketeer. After a successful appearance in The Arizona Kid (1930), she was signed to a contract with Paramount Pictures. Paramount quickly began casting Lombard as a leading lady, primarily in drama films. Her profile increased when she married William Powell in 1931, but the couple divorced after two years. A turning point in Lombard's career came when she starred in Howard Hawks' pioneering screwball comedy Twentieth Century (1934). The actress found her niche in this genre, and continued to appear in films such as Hands Across the Table (1935) (forming a popular partnership with Fred MacMurray), My Man Godfrey (1936), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and Nothing Sacred (1937). At this time, Lombard married "the King of Hollywood", Clark Gable, and the supercouple gained much attention from the media. Keen to win an Oscar, Lombard began to move towards more serious roles at the end of the decade. Unsuccessful in this aim, she returned to comedy in Alfred Hitchcock's Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) and Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942)—her final film role. Lombard's career was cut short when she died at the age of 33 on board TWA Flight 3 on Mount Potosi, Nevada, while returning from a war bond tour. Today, she is remembered as one of the definitive actresses of the screwball comedy genre and American comedy, and ranks among the American Film Institute's greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.
