Barbie's Birthday/Barbie Day (1959)
-- Barbie was the creation of the late American businesswoman Ruth Handler, who served as president of Mattel Inc. from its inception in 1945, when she founded the company with her husband, until 1975, when she resigned. The German doll called Bild Lilli was her inspiration. The first Barbie doll was unveiled to the toy industry during the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959. Handler named the doll after her daughter, Barbara Segal.
