Samantha Parkington & Nellie O'Malley 1904
Samantha Parkington was one of the first three Historical Characters of the American Girl Dolls collection. Samantha represented the Late Victorian / Early Edwardian Era of 1904. The Samantha doll was released in 1986 along with Kirsten Larson and Molly McIntire. The doll was archived in 2008 though the character remains popular through the Samantha movie and books.
The Samantha Parkington doll has the classic face mold with long brown wavy hair with bangs, brown eyes and light skin.
The character of Samantha Parkington was born on May 26th, 1895. The character is an only child who goes to live with her Grandmother after the death of her parents in a boating accident.
Samantha moves to New York to live with her favourite relative, her Uncle Gardner and his new wife Cornelia. The story is set from 1904 to 1907. Samantha's family is well to do.
Samantha's best friend is Nellie O'Malley whose life is in vast contrast to Samantha's own with a few similarites. The main similarity is that Nellie also becomes parentless. The main contrast between Nellie and Samantha are their circumstances based on their financial situation. Nellie and her two younger sisters who always had a poor upbringing, working in a factory and as maids from a very young age are forced into an orphanage after the death of their father.
