She won’t get her dolls back, thank heavens.

Embezzler Anita Collins pleaded guilty in Manhattan yesterday to stealing $1million from the Archdiocese of New York while working for seven years in its Midtown offices as an accounts-payable clerk.

Under her plea, Collins, 69, will pay back no cash but must go to prison for at least 4 1/2 years and forfeit some 50 boxes of pricey Madam Alexander dolls she bought with the stolen loot.

The dolls are currently stored in hallways at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and will likely be auctioned, said Collins’ lawyer, Howard Simmons.

“She forfeits everything they seized” from her apartment, Simmons said.

“That includes mostly trinkets, dolls and a computer. It doesn’t make a dent in a million bucks,” he said, adding that the DA has valued Collins’ seized purchases at $30,000 to $40,000.
