The Doll House

The Doll House was a restaurant in Palm Springs which was run by Ethel and George Strebe from 1946. It was first mentioned by a local newspaper as an entrant in a local parade in 1935.[1] It was patronised by celebrities who were entertained by other stars such as Peggy Lee. It closed in 1966, being replaced by an Italian restaurant, Sorrentino's.[2]

One of the staff employed there was Naomi Parker who is thought to be the woman in the We Can Do It! poster.[3]
