1. Personal Data
Despite being known worldwide as Barbie, this is not her real name, but her nickname. The doll’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. She was born on March 9, 1959, and is a Pisces.
In many Barbie movies, viewers assume that she was born in Malibu, California, but in reality, she hails from Willows, a fictional town in Wisconsin, USA.
2. Family
Barbie has a pretty big family! She has a total of seven siblings: Skipper, Stacie, Chelsea, Krissy, Kelly, Tutti and Todd. The doll also has two cousins: Francie and Jazzie. However, we do not know details about her parents.
And as she is people like us, Barbie also considered her pet a member of the family. Many people think that the doll’s first pet was a dog or a cat, but they are wrong: the horse Dancer was the character’s first pet.
3. Relationships
The full name of Ken, Barbie’s famous boyfriend, is Ken Carson. He was born on March 11, 1961, being two years younger than his girlfriend.
In 2004, something that many thought impossible happened: Barbie and Ken ended their relationship. In the same year, she started dating Blaine, an Australian surfer. After seven years apart, in 2011, the two became a couple again, and who told the news was Barbie herself on her Facebook. And, oddly enough, they never got married and didn’t even have children.
4. Best Friend
Despite having many friends, Midge has been Barbie’s best friend since 1963. She is married to Alan, Ken’s best friend, and has already had children with her beloved.
Including, the presence of Midge and Alan is confirmed in the live-action! They will be interpreted by Emerald Fennell It is Michael Cerarespectively.
5. Home and Car
In addition to many professions, Barbie owns many houses and automobiles. The doll’s first house was a studio, and it was very much in the style of the series “Mad Men: Inventing the Truth”. Nowadays, the car that Barbie uses most is a Corvette, but this was not her first model. Her automobile was a 1962 Austin Healy.
EXTRA — Your own Color
One of Barbie’s most defining characteristics is her passion for pink. The doll uses color in everything: in her name, in her house, in her car, and especially in her clothes. The tone used by her ended up becoming her symbol, so this specific shade of pink was patented as Pink Barbie, and in the Pantone palette it can be found as PMS 219.
