THE GERBER BABY
Gerber held a contest in 1928 to find an adorable new face for an upcoming ad campaign. Artist Dorothy Hope Smith’s sketch of a cherubic baby with big eyes and pursed lips won the hearts of the judges and becoming Gerber's official trademark in 1931. The identity of the Gerber Baby remained a secret until 1978 when Ann Turner Cook—a novelist, teacher and former neighbor of the artist—announced that she was the famous tot.
This baby was famous in her own right.
