Ruth Handler died on this day 22 years ago, aged 85. - Handler would found a plastic furniture company with her husband Elliot. Due to falling sales in World War II, the Handlers would begin making dollhouse furniture, and in 1945 the company was renamed to "Mattel". The dollhouse furniture sale success led to the company fully entering the toy market. - In 1956, Handler would visit Germany, where she would notice a doll based on a comic book character named "Bild Lilli". She would bring one home for her daughter to play with, and noticing the absence of adult-aged female dolls in toy stores (girls would tend to play with baby dolls), decided to redevelop Bild Lilli for an American audience. Three years later, the doll would release, Handler would name it after said daughter- and the rest is history: Barbie's boyfriend Ken would follow in 1961, named after the Handlers' son. - Handler would have a mastectomy following a diagnosis of breast cancer in 1970, and would develop her own prosthetic breasts under a new company, "Ruthton": They were known as "Nearly Me"s. - Handler would resign from Mattel in 1975 after she was reported to have made fraudulent financial reports; she was fined and had to serve 2500 hours of community service. - Handler was later diagnosed with colon cancer and died from complications of surgery treating it. Interest in her surged following the 2023 Barbie movie, where her spirit would be played by Rhea Perlman.

Interesting one this. Report of the death of Harold "Bobby" Davis of reggae group The Sensations aged 77: https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/2024/04/24/sensations-singer-bobby-davis-dies-77/ Wiki has him as Aaron "Bobby" Davis. Apparently they travelled to the UK to promote the hit Double Barrel by Dave Barker and Ansel Collins and Davis was one of those who remained and settled in the UK. Every Day Is A Holiday Brap, brap bredder!

Hate articles like this. Saying someone looks amazing, and setting them up for a bald man named Shug to comment that they're hideous/repulsive. She's alive, firstly, and looks as expected when you consider she used to have a BMI of 106 and store fat in her forehead.

Finnish opera singer Hilkka Kinnunen not dead, interviewed for a local tv show recently. Interesting personality. Says that "art has been her life" and that if she hadn't become an actress she'd have killed herself. Her house is full of art from different parts of the world, different eras. Following her career she's lived in Florida and Helsinki, here she shows letters she's received from household names (Obama, Trump, Soros, RFK, DiCaprio and others)
