Where did the saying "Be a doll" come from??

Question:Example, "Could you be a doll and take this over to the neighbors?"

Answers:
Women were referred to as "dolls" if they were good looking. Doll-face, etc. Used to hear it a lot in the OLD movies of the 50s/60s.
Because dolls are so pretty and sweet. So you would be sweet to do this or that for them.
