A star of many talents, Allen is known and lauded for her decades of work as a dancer, choreographer, actor, director, and producer. Our doll’s look is inspired by Allen’s time choreographing the hit musical TV series “Fame,” and includes a sparkly top, fringe trim pants, leg warmers, and gold statement accessories. A doll body with 11 articulation points lets her hit all sorts of dancing poses.
