Fun facts about Mattel's Barbie Doll
- The first Barbie doll was introduced in
1959. She was inspired by a Build Lilly cartoon from France. At
first, no one believed that little girls would play with a doll that
looked like a grownup instead of like a baby.
- Barbara and Ken are the names of the two children of Ruth and
Elliot Handler - Elliot was the "EL" in MATTEL.
- By the early 70's, Barbie had come a long way baby.
- Her friend Ken sports a new hip charm.
