Trivia: Who was the first celebrity Barbie doll?
James Dean
Audrey Hepburn
Twiggy
Farrah Fawcett
The correct answer is Twiggy
So why is this answer correct? : Barbie debuted in 1959, the product of inventor Ruth Handler’s desire for a dynamic and successful role model for her daughter. In the early 1960s, Barbie defied gender norms by owning her own “Dreamhouse” and becoming an astronaut. Then, in 1967, Mattel introduced its first doll based on a real human — the supermodel Twiggy. Twiggy (aka Lesley Hornby) was a 16-year-old superstar at the time, and her cropped platinum pixie hair and charcoal-lined eyes had come to define the fashion and celebrity world of that era.
