Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

Ashton Drake Blythe girls are supposedly made using the original Kenner Blythe molds.. The plastic they used is very different than the original Kenners, so the dolls have a different look. An ADG's facial features are much sharper than a Kenner's. I wanted to see if I could soften Isa's features with some Lightroom presets. I think she looks a tad more Kenner-ish than usual, lol.

German twin sisters Isa and Jutta Günther (1938) are former child actresses. In 1950 they were a huge success in the Erich Kästner adaptation Das Doppelte Lottchen/Two Times Lotte. Several more light entertainment films with the twins followed during the 1950’s.
Isa and Jutta Günther were born in Munich in 1938. They began their film careers in 1950 in Das Doppelte Lottchen/Two Times Lotte (1950, Josef von Baky), based on the popular children's book by Erich Kästner. The story revolves around two girls who find out that they are separated twins, and decide to change identities, in order to reunite their divorced parents (portrayed by Antje Weissgerber and Peter Mosbacher). J.B. du Monteil at IMDb: “This is the kind of stuff which might seem maudlin, but Joseph Von Baky's treatment is pleasant, nay even interesting: the dream scenes are the best as if the scenarists had read Bruno Bettelheim (whose book about fairy tales was yet to come).” The film was a blockbuster, and lead to several German family films with the twin sisters. The comedy Ich und meine Frau/I and My Wife (1953, Eduard von Borsody) featured Attila Hörbiger and his wife Paula Wessely and the twins played their daughters. The girls became teenagers and in the comedy Der erste Kuß/The First Kiss (1954, Erik Ode) they enjoyed their first kiss. Most of these Heimat comedies are now justly forgotten.
Furthermore, the Günther twins had guest roles in Schlager films like An jedem Finger zehn/ Ten on Every Finger (1954, Erik Ode) starring Germaine Damar, and Liebe, Sommer und Musik/Love, Summer and Music (1956, Hubert Marischka). Without her twin sister, Isa Günther played in two other films. In both the Johanna Spyri adaptation Heidi (1952, Luigi Comencini) and the sequel Heidi und Peter/Heidi and Peter (1955, Franz Schnyder) she portrayed Klara Sesemann, Heidi’s rich and ill girlfriend. In Vier Mädels aus der Wachau/Four Girls from the Wachau (1957, Franz Antel), the twin sisters appeared together with those other famous twins of the Adenauer era, Alice and Ellen Kessler. Jan Onderwater writes at IMDb: “the twins do not match as in their late teens the Günthers are dull ladies without any spark, while the Kesslers are fresh and jolly as ever. Alas the Kesslers are hardly given anything to do that is within their (song and dance) line. Together they have a theme song that is sung until not only the twins are tired from it, but the viewer also.” A year later, both Isa and Jutta Günther ended their film careers. At the age of 20 years, they retired from show business and later both married. Isa is now called Isa Günther Wimmer and lives in Köln (Cologne). Jutta’s current name is Jutta Günther-Westerbarkey and she lives in München (Munich). Their first and most successful film, Das Doppelte Lottchen/Two Times Lotte, was remade several times, including by Disney as The Parent Trap (1961, David Swift) starring Hayley Mills, but according to several IMDb reviewers the original German version is still the best.

Isa Barzizza (1929) is an Italian actress, who is considered one of the most important interpreters of the Italian revue, cinema, and television.
Luisita "Isa" Barzizza was born in 1929 in San Remo in Italy. She is the daughter of the famous orchestra conductor and musician Pippo Barzizza and of Tatina Salesi. She studied at the Liceo Classico Vincenzo Gioberti in Turin and at the same time began to participate in prose theatre performances in secondary roles next to actors such as Ruggero Ruggeri, Elsa Merlini, and Eduardo De Filippo. At first, Pippo Barzizza was against his daughter's theatrical activity. It was Erminio Macario who launched her into the theatre world after Barzizza had finished her high school studies. The great actor personally asked Isa's father to let her make her debut in one of his revues. The father agreed on the condition that Isa was always looked after by a governess, and this was the case. Isa Barzizza made her debut with 'Le educande di San Babila' in 1947, followed by 'Follie di Amleto' in 1947-48. Gifted with a handsome physique and a light-hearted irony, she soon became one of the darlings of post-war Italian light and musical theatre.
Isa Barzizza's second godfather was Totò, from whom she learned all the secrets of the trade: from his direct relationship with the audience to his comic timing, from mimicry to the use of space on stage. In the theatrical field, she starred in two plays with Totò: 'C'era una volta il mondo' (1948) and 'Bada che ti mangio' (1949). In this last comedy, the gag of the sleeping car was born, also proposed in the film Totò a colori (Steno, 1952). Barzizza also made her film debut with Totò in the 1947 film I due orfanelli (The Two Orphans, Mario Mattoli 1947) and made 11 films with him, including Fifa e arena (Mattoli, 1948) and Totò al giro d'Italia (Mattoli, 1948), and, as can be suspected here, often directed by Mario Mattoli. Barzizza was most active as a film actress in the late 1940s and early 1950s and was often paired with popular male comedians (of whom some she already worked with on stage), such as Nino Taranto, Macario, Aldo Fabrizi, Carlo Dapporto, Tino Scotti, Walter Chiari, and the French comedian Fernandel, but above all Totò. She also starred herself in a few films, such as the comedies Porca miseria (Giorgi Bianchi, 1951) and Bellezze in moto-scooter (Carlo Campogalliani, 1952), while she less often also acted in dramas such as the Christmas Carol-inspired Non è mai troppo tardi (Filippo Walter Ratti, 1953), starring Paolo Stoppa. Thus between 1947 and 1956 Barzizza acted in some 35 films, including the Italo-German coproduction Senza veli/ Wir tanzen auf dem Regenbogen (1953/1952), a musical melodrama shot in both a German and an Italian version at Cinecittà, plus another Italo-German film shot in two versions: Die Tochter der Kompanie/ La figlia del reggimento (Géza von Bolváry, Goffredo Alessandrini, Tullio Cova, 1953). The last film of this avalanche of mostly (partly musical) comedies was I pinguini ci guardano (1956) by Guido Leoni, which included many famous names such as Barzizza, Isa Miranda, Ave Ninchi, and the singers Renato Rascel and Domenico Modugno.
In the 1951-52 stage season Isa Barzizza worked with Garinei and Giovannini, who paid homage to her great beauty and sense of humour in revues such as 'Gran baldoria', which was a great success with the public. In the same years, she also tried his hand at prose theatre, playing in William Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night directed by Renato Castellani. On 3 January 1954, the day the official Italian television programmes began, RAI broadcast Carlo Goldoni's one-act play 'Osteria della posta' in which Barzizza was the leading actress. Numerous other comedies followed. In 1955-56 she had another success with the musical comedy Valentina, the love story of two fiancés who take a leap forward in time. In 1960, when she was only 31 years old, she decided to interrupt her career in brilliant theatre following the death of her husband in 1953, the television director Carlo Alberto Chiesa, in a car accident on 3 June 1960 on the Via Aurelia. For a few years, she devoted herself entirely to her only daughter; she then became romantically involved with the builder Enzo Villoresi.
Following a suggestion at the beginning of the 1960s, Isa Barzizza founded a dubbing company and devoted herself to this activity, both as a businesswoman and as an artistic director. In the 1970s she returned to the film sets for supporting parts in Ettore Scola's famous C'eravamo tanto amati (1974) but also the lesser known Il garofano rosso (Luigi Faccini, 1976), based on a novel by Elio Vittorini and starring Miguel Bosé. Barzizza only returned to the theatre in the early nineties, again in comedies such as La pulce nell'orecchio directed by Gigi Proietti, and Arsenico e vecchi merletti/ Arsenic and Old lace directed by Mario Monicelli. In 1995 she took part in the Spoleto Festival with L'ultimo Yankee by Arthur Miller and in 1999 she starred in a version of the theatrical reduction of Aldo Palazzeschi's novel Sorelle Materassi, alongside Lauretta Masiero. In the same period, she also returned to work in film and television. She acted e.g. in Luca Barbareschi's coming of age film Ardena (1997). She hosted the TV show Mai dire mai on Raitre in 1989 with Fabio Fazio and Giampiero Mughini, and took part in the two series of the Raiuno fiction Non lasciamoci più (1999 and 2001). In the film 7 km da Gerusalemme (Claudio Malaponti, 2007), she plays a rich old lady willing to "buy luck" for her grandchildren at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In the autumn of her love, Barzizza played various grandmothers in films, such as the one in Maledimiele (Marco Pozzi, 2011 ), while she played Marisa, an elderly woman in a hospital, in the bittersweet comedy Viva Italia! (2012) by Massimiliano Bruno, starring Michele Placido, Raul Bova, Alessandro Gassman, and Ambra Angiolini. Barzizza's last film role was that of grandmother Emma in the comedy Indovina chi viene a Natale? (Fausto Brizzi, 2013), with Diego Abatantuono and Bova.
