This is Hedda Get Bedda, made in 1961. She is
probably the most well know of the Whimsie series made by American
Character in the early 1960s. She is a 3-faced doll who lets you know just
how she is feeling by turning the knob on top of her bonnet. The
bonnet is made of plastic and is non-removable. She has been
redressed. This is not her original outfit but she was sold in
pajamas. The Whimsie dolls are quite comical with silly names like
Susie the Snoozie, Fanny the Fallen Angel, Tillie the Talker, and Dixie
the Pixie, to name just a few. These dolls were marketed to the
pre-teens and teenagers who were getting "too old for baby
dolls". |

Here are Hedda's three different expressions. |

A happy Hedda. She is feeling fine. |

Uh-oh! Hedda is under the weather. Could it possibly be the measles? (The tiny hole you see in her mouth is wear a small thermometer once was. This little accessory piece is very often missing since it could easily be knocked out of her mouth.) |

Nightie-nite, Hedda. Get some sleep and you will feel better in the morning. |
