The famous American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald once said: "I was the spark that ignited the youth, and Colleen Moore was the torch." Colleen Moore is one of the most popular and highly paid Hollywood actresses of the beginning of the last century. She, they say, had two passions — cinema and dolls. Many of the fifty films in which Colleen shone are lost. But the incredible dollhouse that she had been building for seven years has survived.
