Shop for: Molly McIntire Dolls

Molly® lives in Jefferson, IL; she was born on April 22, 1934.  Molly’s story is set during World War II. Molly lives in Jefferson, Illinois with her parents and three siblings, where she helps her family and loved ones stay cheery during the war. Her physician father is stationed in England caring for wounded soldiers. Molly’s report card reveals her middle initial to be “J.” Throughout her core stories, Molly has two equal best friends but gains a third friend in her birthday story named Emily Bennett. Molly’s six core books focus on themes of teamwork, family adaptation to her father being gone during the war, and setting and maintaining priorities.

Molly was one of the original three dolls offered by Pleasant Company. She has medium brown, braided hair; gray eyes; and wears distinctive round glasses. While the company sells eyeglasses separately to fit any 18″ American Girl doll, Molly is the only doll to be sold with them. Molly has a large collection based on fashions from the World War II era.
