The real-life inspiration for Barbie
BBCThe Barbie movie gives a nod to the doll's creator Ruth Handler Getty Images In the new Barbie film, the doll's creator Ruth Handler plays a crucial role. She spoke to the BBC in 1997, describing what her inspiration was – and how some men didn't like the idea of a doll with a woman's shape. Ruth Handler and her husband Elliot founded the toy company Mattel in a garage workshop in Southern California in 1945; she came up with the idea for the Barbie doll, which was launched in 1959. Why some men didn't like the idea of a doll with a woman's shape On 9 March 1959, Handler took Barbie to the annual Toy Fair in New York.
