Believe it or not, Barbie originally was a real person and her name was Barbara (Barbie) Handler. Her parents Ruth and Elliot Handler watched her play with dolls, which were at that time made of paper or cardboard, and her mother decided to make a three-dimensional (立体的) female adult doll.
In the mid 1940s, the young couple owned a company that made wooden picture frames. Eliot and his partner Harold Mattson built the samples and Ruth was in charge of marketing them. This was the beginning of their toy business.
It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler joined with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created.

She has been a teacher, astronaut, veterinarian, soldier, singer, flight attendant, and model. Barbie also keeps up with the latest technology --- she got bendable legs in 1965 and her first computer in 1985.
