Story Card
"Captivated by the mysterious allure of Africa during the filming of Daughter of the Nile
in Egypt, Gene was thrilled when the studio scheduled her to go on safari to the vast plains of Kenya for publicity. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience she would never forget.
That day spent with a nomadic Masai tribe, for example. The photographer snapped shot after shot of Gene with the tall, exotically handsome tribespeople in their beautiful dyed one-piece robes. Gene's costume inspired amusement for the Masai, especially the high heels that the publicity department decided were perfect for hiking in the rocky bush. When Gene politely, yet firmly, insisted she do all her shooting of the fabulous wildlife with a camera, not a rifle, she disappointed the publicist, but earned nods of approval from the Masai who did not understand this need to hunt for sport. But Gene's most unforgettable moment came when a shy Masai girl approached her with a magazine in hand...a Screen Look
issue from 1947 with Gene's photo on the cover, well-worn but obviously the teenage girl's greatest treasure. Gene's dream of stardom had touched a child here, even in this ancient, primitive land, this most remote wilderness. The tribe still tells of how a bridge spanning two words was created in the instant the American movie star reached out her arms to hug a Masai daughter." - For the adult collector - Doll not included, sold separately Please note: I realized that it is difficult to see, so I wanted to mention that both the story card and the numbered Certificate of Authenticity are in there. Condition- This set has never removed from the box, as pictured. The box has some shelf wear. The photo features the actual set you will receive. The first auction photo also includes the stock photo so you could see the outfit on a Gene doll, but no dolls are included in this auction. I apologize that I could not get better photos for you; the box is rectangular in shape, but I had to take the photo from above to avoid the glare from the plastic cover. This outfit set was part of a private collection and has been stored in our clean, smoke-free and pet-free home since it was originally purchased. This doll outfit set, as pictured in the auction photos, will be shipped to you inside a larger sturdy cardboard box with packing materials inside to protect it during shipping; we no longer have the shipper box in which it originally came. Payment- Immediate payment is required for buy-it-now auctions; I apologize if this is an inconvenience for you, but I feel that I have been forced to now require immediate payment due to the number of non-paying bidders lately who have wasted my time, resources, and energy. Returns- I do not accept returns unless I have misrepresented this item in some way. Any exclusions to this policy will include a 5% restocking fee and the buyer will be responsible for return shipping costs and expected to return the item in the exact manner it was received with the original shipping box and shipping materials inside. Shipping- High bidder to pay actual shipping calculated by your zip code and package weight & dimensions. I will ship this set out to you within two business days of receiving your payment. I will ship either through the post office. My current auctions have been carefully packed and are ready to ship to you. I wrapped them in a way that they will not show up to you with any damage from rolling around in the box during shipping. Since they have been carefully packed to keep them in good shape and are ready to ship to you, I cannot offer combined shipping for these auctions. I will do my part to ship this set out to you within a timely manner, but I cannot be held responsible for any shipping delays resulting from the shipping service. Questions- Please let me know if you have any questions about this gorgeous Ashton Drake Gene Marshall outfit. I try to describe my items as accurately as possible, so please do let me know if you have any questions prior to bidding. Please also check out my other auction items. Thanks for looking!
