RIP Dr. Ruth and Richard Simmons

Two pop culture icons passed away within hours of each other, both lovers of dolls and doll houses. While the expert guide for doll collecting at about.com, I wrote an article an article on Dr. Ruth and her doll houses. Richard Simmons had a company that made dolls, active during the nineties. He collected dalmations figures and some dolls. He also appeared in Doll Reader magazine. May they both rest in peace.
