In Hollywood, not all stories are fully documented. Some remain mysteries and as such provide dollectors with a canvas onto which to project a wonderful world of intrigue, drama and fun. In the richly developed world of Mel Odom's Gene Marshall, Oona stands out for the absence of a biography. The best rumors (started by a trustworthy source) is that she was an alien saved by Violet Waters and an unidentified man.
Regardless of her origins in our vast universe, Oona is a beauty. And to us, Oona makes the ideal character to portray a facet of Hollywood that is as iconic and perhaps sometimes more fun than its mainstream. For in this Dolldom exclusive, Oona embodies the Queen of the B-Movie. Subversive and unabashed, Oona took on projects that Gene Marshall and
Madra Lord could not - due to their established personalities at
Monolithic Studios. From science fiction to exploitation films, Oona did it all and loved every minute of it.
Mel Odom's Oona joins Gene Marshall, Madra Lord, and Violet Waters in JAMIEshow Dolls' realm of beautifully-crafted resin ball-jointed dolls.
