A googly eye, googly eyed or googly eyes doll is a term used to describe the side glancing and sometimes side rolling eyes too, of these charming dolls, found in both bisque & composition heads and later even hard plastic and vinyl.  The term Googly is thought to have originated from the German words "Guck Augen" which translates to "ogling eyes that move to one side".  Dolls were created by many different manufacturers from both German and French countries, but later USA manufactures also made Googly eyed dolls.
