One of my favorite Holiday specials when I was a child is Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, and it still is to this day. For the many years I have watched the show, I have always asked myself the same question. What was wrong with the doll? Everyone on the Island Of Misfit toys had an obvious thing that made them a misfit, but the doll remained a mystery.
There have been several theories about the toy in question and here are a few of them:
* The doll had no underwear.
* Her feet were smelly
* She could not compete to that infamous Talky Tina from Twilight Zone fame.
* She had no nose.
* She had a much seedier side to herself that I cannot reveal on this site because I am trying to keep it G-rated.
After many years of pondering the many possibilities, I discovered a few years ago that her problem was psychological in nature. According to producer Arthur Rankin Jr. of Rankin/Bass, Dolly was abandoned by her mistress and suffered from depression as a result of being unloved.
Poor thing!
