The Gerber Baby (Ann Turner Cook)


For 80 years, her face has been one of the most recognizeable faces in American grocery stores. Go down the aisle where the baby food is, and you'll see her face looking at you from hundreds of tiny jars. Her name is Ann Turner Cook, but we all know her as "The Gerber Baby." A neighbor of her parents, Dorothy Hope Smith, penned the now famous portrait that became the logo for Gerber baby foods. She grew up to become an English teacher, and after retirement, a successful mystery writer.
