Barbara Handler
Barbara Handler is the daughter of Elliot and Ruth Handler, the co-founders of Mattel Inc. Toymakers. She is the namesake of the Barbie doll.[1] The inspiration for the now-famous teen-age fashion model doll, came from watching her daughter Barbara, who would use her paper dolls and clothes in adult roles[2][3].
The Ken doll was named after Barbara's brother Ken Handler.
