The character Gidget is from the novel series written by Frederick Kohner that started with the novel "Gidget: the Little Girl with Big Ideas." The series consisted of seven books and was started in 1957 and ended in 1968 with the publication of the final book, "Gidget Goes New York."
In the original "Gidget" films and TV series, there is no specific scene where Gidget is spanked with a hairbrush. The character is portrayed as a fun-loving, independent teenager navigating her surf culture and relationships. Any such scenario would likely be a misinterpretation or a humorous exaggeration, as the series focuses more on her adventures and personal growth rather than punitive measures.
Gidget was a character in a teenage television series during the sixties. The show was the first starring role for actress, Sally Fields. Gidget's crowd were known as the surfing crowd. Gidget fell in love with a surfer, Moondoggie, and soon managed to ingratiate herself into the surfer culture. They had exacting criteria, and mores, appearing to represent a specific subculture.

The fictional character Frances Lawrence's nickname was "Gidget," derived from a combination of "girl" and "midget." This character was inspired by the real-life Kathy Kohner, who surfed in Malibu during the 1950s and was known by the same nickname.
I doubt it. Ruth Handler got the inspiration for Barbie from the Bild Lilli doll in Germany, and Lilli had been sold since the mid-1950s, several years before the movie Gidget was released.
Gidget was created in 1957.
The 1959 Sandra Dee movie version was filmed at Leo Carrillo State Beach. I think the TV series Gidget staring Sally Field was filmed primarily at and around Paradise Cove.
