Who was the pregnant Barbie?
“Pregnant Barbie” is actually Margaret Hadley Sherwood, or Midge, as her friends call her. Midge was created to be a less glam, more relatable Barbie, per Buzzfeed News. The doll was launched in 1963 as Barbie's bestie. She had freckles and red hair, and she wore less makeup than Barbie did.
In Greta Gerwig's just-released film, Greenblatt plays Sasha, an angsty Gen Z tween who lost interest in Barbies long ago and is the daughter of Gloria (America Ferrera). “She is a very layered girl,” Greenblatt says of her character.
This stems from a deep-rooted envy of Barbie's relationship with Ken, whom Raquelle has feelings for. When Raquelle isn't plotting against Barbie, she's trying her hardest to outshine her with her luxurious lifestyle. Raquelle also has a twin brother named Ryan who is just as vain and shallow as she is.
Ryan (2012–2015): He is Raquelle's twin brother and Ken's rival. He is a main character in the Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse series. Ryan has a crush on Barbie, and therefore competes with Ken for her affection.
Barbie and Ken are one of pop culture's most famous couples. But the plastic dolls were named after real people, and they weren't a couple – they were siblings. Ruth Handler's children resented the dolls named after them and didn't buy any for their own children.
The Barbie Doll Was Originally Supposed To Be 19-Years Old
Meant to be a 19-year-old woman, the doll was named after 18-year-old Barbara, the daughter of American businesswoman and Barbie inventor Ruth Handler. Today, the doll itself is 64 years old; in 2023, Barbie would technically be 83 years old if she aged.
Apparently, Barbie will never get married. According to the wishes of Barbie creator Ruth Handler, part of Barbie's appeal to young children was that she defied patriarchal norms, and would never walk down the aisle toward Ken or have children. I'm sorry to say, Ruth, but that wasn't how we played it.
John Cena, renowned for his time in WWE, will surprise audiences by playing a mermaid in the upcoming film Barbie. As the Barbie movie hits cinemas this week, we'll get a chance to see the film that has an amazing cast.
Biography. Krissy was introduced to the Barbie toyline as Barbie's baby sister in 1999 before being discontinued in 2001. Within the Barbie Parodies, Krissy is the fourth and currently the last child of Ken Roberts and Barbie Roberts.
The movie does have adult themes, mild language and some suggestive references, but many parents have still felt comfortable taking their children and tweens to see it. The “Barbie” movie can be a great jumping off point for starting or continuing thoughtful discussions about diversity, inclusion and self-image.
Technically, Ken has no official age (he is a doll, after all) although he was first introduced as Barbie's boyfriend on March 11, 1961, which means he has been around for 62 years. (Barbie was created in 1959, which would make her 64.)
Although the doll was part of a 'Happy Family' line of dolls, there was backlash at the time for endorsing 'teenage pregnancy', so the road towards endorsing a liberating world through Barbie dolls has admittedly not always been smooth. Regardless, for Ruth the idea was to keep Barbie single and child free.
The couple moved in together, eventually buying a home in 2019. Sandoval and Leviss crossed the line for the first time in August 2022, hooking up at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies' wedding. (Leviss also hooked up with Sandoval's business partner and close friend, Tom Schwartz, at the event.)
Though Leviss' legal name is Rachel, she has gone by Raquel for most of her life. Her friends and family “began calling her Raquel at a very early age, and the name stuck.”
Raquelle is a fair-skinned young woman with long wavy black hair and brown eyes. She is the same size and body type as Barbie, allowing her to borrow Barbie's clothes as needed. Her signature outfit is a golden coat with a white shirt and a black, frilly skirt.
The Barbie movie centers, of course, on its titular character played by Margot Robbie. But Ken (Ryan Gosling) plays an important role in the drama as he wrangles with the notion that he's long been an accessory in Barbie's dream life more than an equal partner.
Weird Barbie, portrayed by Kate McKinnon, is seen as a shaman figure and the keeper of everyone's hidden weirdness, bringing an asymmetrical and messed up side to Barbie's perfect image.
Hari Nef — the trans actress from Philadelphia — plays one of the Barbies in Greta Gerwig's new film about the doll starring Margot Robbie. But conservatives are angry about Nef's role. Read moreWarner Bros.
