Did you Know in BARBIE ??
MOVIE - BARBIE
FACTS - Was Ruth really the creator of Barbie?? Ruth Handler was initially thought to be the brains behind Barbie. But she and her husband Elliot founded Mattel in 1945 with the involvement of family friend Harold Matson, which is where the name Mattel originated - a fusion of 'Mat' and 'Ell'. Despite this, Matson left due to health issues, making way for Jack Ryan, who clashed with Ruth.
While Ruth's background was in furniture sales, Jack's career began in weapon design for Raytheon. Despite their contrasting personalities, they shared a common passion for Barbie.
Ruth brings back the adult "Bild Lilli" doll from Europe, which led to Barbie. Jack claims to have driven the design, naming it after his ex-wife, Barbara. While Ruth insists it was her idea, named after her daughter.
This continued for years, leading to Jack suing Mattel for millions and Ruth being found guilty of financial fraud. In the end, Mattel was on Team Ruth, as tax fraud seems a lesser offense compared to the lavish adult parties Jack was known for throwing. Anyway.. that's a tale for another time.
