BARBARA WOODCOCK said...: We were in that town just after "THE BARBIE DOLL"" came out. AND MY SISTER "BILLIE LIVED IN SAN JOSE, CA. SHE ALWAYS INSISTED THAT "THE BARBIE DOLL"" WAS MODELED AFTER ME, AND I SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY, AND I WAS VERY BUSY WORKING ON OUR CAREER'S. I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO FIGHT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR THE INCLINATION.........SUCH IS LIFE..........Barbara........; 24 April, 2016 23:54
