'If you're going to be a symbol for something, what could be more pleasant than a symbol for baby food?,' Ann Turner Cook said.
TAMPA, Florida -- Ann Turner Cook, whose cherubic baby face was known the world over as the original Gerber baby, has died. She was 95.Gerber announced Cook's passing in an Instagram post on Friday.
Cook was 5 months old when a neighbor, artist Dorothy Hope Smith, drew a charcoal sketch of her that was later submitted for a contest Gerber was holding for a national marketing campaign for baby food. For decades, though, the identity of the baby was kept secret, spurring rumors about who it was with guesses including Humphrey Bogart and Elizabeth Taylor.
Cook told The Associated Press in a 1998 interview that her mother had told her when she was young that she was the baby in the illustration.
