The original Gerber baby, Ann Turner Cook, is celebrating her 95rd birthday.

Cook was only four months old and her newborn face was recognizable.

In 1928, Gerber organized a competition to find a person to represent the baby food advertising campaign.

According to the company’s website, some artists submitted detailed oil paintings, but one artist, Dorothy Hope Smith, Cook’s neighbor who painted the children’s portraits, presented a simple charcoal sketch and suggested finalizing it.
