One constant throughout the years has been the appeal of Madame Alexander dolls. The Alexander Doll Company was founded by Madame Beatrice Alexander Behrman, the daughter of Russian immigrants. She was raised over her father's doll hospital, the first in America, and often played with the dolls waiting to be mended. Her love of dolls led this dynamic woman to creating her own line of dolls. For almost 90 years Madame Alexander has been an American tradition, a passion passed down from generation to generation. Whether given to celebrate special occasions or to bring a smile, Alexander dolls are one of the most celebrated dolls in the world!
