Gerber Baby
According to Gerber, Ann Turner Cook is the famous Gerber baby, whose portrait is featured prominently on all Gerber product packaging. Cook is now a retired teacher and mystery writer. She was depicted in a charcoal sketch by neighbor Dorothy Hope Smith. Smith submitted the sketch as an entry for the company's logo contest.
A few interim Gerber babies were selected to appear on Gerber products in the mid '70s including babies known only as Hogg and Murray.
Numerous urban legends have incorrectly identified the Gerber baby. Some legends claim that the baby is Sally Gerber herself, the reason why the company itself was established.
