He just came to the cinema BarbieNew film Greta Gerwig based on the famous Mattel toys, which will feature the main characters Margot Robbie AND Ryan Gosling (here is our review). In the course of the film, we learn some background of the real figure that inspired the creation of the famous doll. In fact, in one scene we see the creator of the toy Ruth Handler (played by Rhea Perlman) explain Barbie that he named her that when she was “born” on March 9, 1959, in honor of her beloved daughter Varvara.
Well, contrary to what we hear in the song she sings Ryan Gosling “Only Ken”the male copy of Barbie also has a last name and inspiration. Ken in fact he got his name from Ruth Handler’s other son, Kenneth Handler.
The owner didn’t want it. Barbie was romantically involved, however in March 1961 he had to create Ken after complaints that the doll was not married. Debuting in a red bathing suit with matching sandals and a towel, Ken was born beach-ready, unlike his real-life alter ego.
Kenneth Handler she even spoke about her mother’s creation with the LA Times and admitted during a 1989 interview that she had little in common with the doll.
Go to the beach and surf. He does all those perfect American things.. I was a nerd, a real nerd. All the girls thought I was an idiot.
