If you're a doll collector - and especially if your collection focuses on celebrities - you may want to dash over to BABY JANE (a memorabilia shop stacked to the rafters with priceless goodies) at the French Market and snap up a set on display in the window (complete with original boxes and crafted in the image of a celebrated couple who once graced the little boob tube each week in an off-the-wall variety show).
You betcha!
Sonny & Cher are together once again (separated only by a bit of cardboad & plastic) in the display window of the popular destination spot.

The quaint shop - where you can locate just about any piece of trivia or novelty item related to a celebrity you pine for - was previously situated near the back of the Market.
But, now - in a spacious new setting up front - film buffs and fans are able to take a gander at wall-size movie posters splashed across the expansive walls instead of having to roll them out on the floor from a bin at the counter for a look-see.
The owner use to be my landlord a few years go in Hollwyood.
Coincidentally, the tiny sidestreet in the hills where the building was situated, used to boast a turn-of-the-century home where Rudolph Valentino once resided. .
Ironic, that!
Valentino and I share the same birthday (May 6th).
One big difference between the famed heart thob and moi, though.
Rudy was a silent film star, while I'm a loud-mouthed superstar!
Stop by BABY JANE and check out all the delightful keepsakes on tap.
By the way, the name of the collectibles shop was coined from one of Charles' favorite films starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
You got it.
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane!
