Samantha Parkington is the American Girl doll from 1904.
She is one of four of the historical dolls with a best friend, whose name is Nellie O'Malley and who is actually a servant in her house. Samantha's family is upper class, and Nellie's is lower class, but that doesn't stop these two girls from becoming fast friends. Samantha is an orphan being raised by her grandmother to be a "proper young lady", as defined in the early 20th century. Despite their differences in class, Samantha is determined to be true to her friendship with Nellie, even though it causes some conflicts with others.
She is one of the three original American Girl historical dolls, along with Molly and Kirsten.
Samantha has had one of her stories told in the form of a movie, named "Samantha - An American Girl Holiday", and is sure to be a Christmas classic.
Samantha Collection to be Retired!
We're writing with important news about an American Girl original, Samantha Parkington®. Soon, Samantha's complete collection-including Nellie® and her accessories-will be moving into the American Girl Archives.
While Samantha has been one of American Girl's most popular historical characters since her introduction in 1986, we felt the timing was right to preserve her place in American Girl's history, making it possible to introduce new characters and time periods for our customers to enjoy.
Watch for more information via our catalogues or at americangirl.com. In the meantime, don't miss the opportunity to purchase items from Samantha's collection before it's too late. Thank you again for your continued support.

What a sales gimmick!!!!! Have been surfing eBay and see how outragous the prices are for the items I never had the opportunity to purchase. Do you suppose an artificial demand was intentionally created by removing Samantha from the collection? Sure looks like it to me. I would NEVER consider buying another series since I was burned so badly by this "retirement". BOOO to American GIrl Company!
