She’s one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising actresses, an Oscar-nominee, and a major power player who has worked with the likes of Jodie Foster and Steve Carell. Now, with Hollywood’s newest scandal focusing on her tragic separation from a longtime companion, Abigail Breslin has a question for the media and her fans alike.

Have you seen her doll?

“George was abducted…this is the sad truth,” sighed the 11-year-old “Little Miss Sunshine” star. “It’s very sad, and it’s very upsetting.”

Throughout the 2006-2007 awards season, Breslin was all over red carpets for events like the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, always clutching her tattered, Curious George doll. When I caught her heading into a Globes party last year, she giggled about how her stuffed date and her would soon head home, since it was past their bed time. Breslin even did a photo shoot for the (red) campaign holding George.

“I went to the Polo Lounge, and I was eating lunch,” she revealed to me recently, remembering the sad disappearance of her beloved monkey. “I put him under the table, and I left him, and when we called [afterwards], he wasn’t there anymore.”

If only in an attempt to live out my lifelong dream of being a character in a Dashiell Hammett novel, I want to get to the bottom of this mystery. So, dear MTV Movies Blog readers, if any of you have seen Abby’s doll, please drop us a line at tips@mtvmoviesblog.com. And if you happen to have it in your possession, we’ll arrange safe passage back to her – no questions asked.

“It’s really sad, it’s really sad,” Breslin sighed, before trying to put a happy face on the situation. “But here’s the thing: I found the same [type of doll], and now I have Velvet. He looks like the same George.”

But still, we all remember how sad it was when we lost our favorite childhood toys. And after countless photos seen all over the world of Breslin and George attending Hollywood events, I can’t help but think somebody snagged the doll with thoughts of putting it up on eBay.

“I probably would buy him back,” Breslin said, considering the idea of George popping up on the auction website. “I’d be like ‘Okay, let’s see how could I do this,’ and then I would get it, and be like ‘George! Long time, no see!’”

Abby’s first starring role, in the fantasy flick “Nim’s Island,” is in theaters now. If you have any info about George, please send it in - and maybe we can reunite her with the little monkey on the red carpet at her next premiere.
