Barbie Forever

Barbie Doll Day
-- Ruth Handler (wife of one of Mattel's founders, Elliot Handler) noticed her daughter, Barbara, gave adult roles to paper dolls when she played with them, imagining roles as college students, cheerleaders, and adults with careers. In 1956, Handler bought three German Lilli dolls while vacationing in Switzerland, and used them as her inspiration in creating the Barbie doll when she returned to California. The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had the full name of Barbara Millicent Roberts from Willows, Wisconsin. She came with either blonde or brunette hair. Barbie was introduced to the world at the American Toy Fair in New York City on March 9, 1959.
