Madame Alexander Doll Company is an American manufacturer of collectible dolls. The business was founded in 1923 by Beatrice Alexander, a New York City woman who designed and sewed cloth dolls. Styling herself Madame Alexander—which also became the trade name for her dolls—she went on to create dolls replicating famous personalities and characters from books, films, music, and art. Beatrice Alexander ran the business for 65 years and sold it in 1988. The company has produced over 6,500 doll styles and characters.
