Caren Marsh Doll

Caren Marsh Doll is an American stage and screen actress and dancer who specializes in modern dance and tap. The actress was Judy Garland’s dance stand double in The Wizard of Oz in 1939 and Ziegfeld Girl in 1941. She dances through her rich Hollywood life. Doll is one of the very few actresses of the silent film era who are still alive. Caren, an original MGM doll, appeared on the silver screen, danced in Hollywood musicals, was a Western leading lady, acted on Broadway, and remains the darling of Oz fans around the world.

The actress only had a short career in acting lasting from 1937 until 1948, appearing in motion pictures, which included a small part in Gone with the Wind, for which she didn’t receive credits. The actress, later on, pursued a career in dance, where she gained more success. Doll has since been a dance teacher and entertainer and is still active in her career until this day, even at the age of 101. In November 2007, Marsh published her autobiography, Hollywood’s Babe, in which she discussed her life in Hollywood, and her love affair with The Wizard of Oz.
