A woman who has been the world’s most famous baby for decades has celebrated her 92nd birthday last year.

Being the first ever official face of the Gerber Baby products, Ann Turner Cook will always remain famous across the globe as an infant.

Cook was selected as the brand’s iconic black-and-white sketched logo after competing for a contest in 1928.

A charcoal portrait of Cook was submitted to the contest by her neighbor and artist, Dorothy Hope Smith. Owing to its immense popularity, the image became Gerber Baby’s official trademark in 1931.

The portrait showed the former English teacher and mystery novelist as a cherub-faced, tousle-haired infant with bright eyes and pursed lips.

“In her entry, Smith noted that she would finish the sketch if she won,” Gerber’s website says.

“Her drawing competed with elaborate oil paintings, but the judges fell in love with the baby face Smith drew, and when they chose it as the winner, they insisted that the simple illustration remain a sketch.

“The image of this happy, healthy baby was soon to become the face that launched a brand, a face recognized and loved across the globe.”

Fast forward to almost a century, the image is still used by the company. Ever since 1931, Cook’s portrait has been appearing on every Gerber product as well as every advertisement.

Cook’s true identity, however, was kept hidden for over four decades and was revealed in 1978.

“Mrs. Cook’s sparkling eyes and adorable, curious baby face still personify the Gerber brand, representing Gerber’s commitment to happy, healthy babies all over the world,” the website adds.

Cook, who has still got the same sparkling eyes, celebrated her 92nd birthday in November last year.

The old lady loves it when she gets to meet other Gerber babies. She recently met Lucas Warren, the one-year-old who happens to be the first Gerber baby with Down Syndrome.

The heartwarming meetup was arranged by Gerber when Lucas’ parents Jason and Cortney were visiting Tampa, Florida.

“As soon as we walked into the room, (Cook) and Lucas immediately bonded,” her parents told Today. “Lucas walked right up to her, flashing his signature smile and waving, and we could tell he loved her right away.

“Ann Turner Cook is truly a wonderful woman and pleasure to be around, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she took the time to meet with our family.”

Cook has always seen her Gerber baby role as something much more than just a logo.

“My grandmother has always said that there’s something about the Gerber baby that cuts across all kinds of people,” her grandson Chris Colin said.

“We all feel so divided sometimes, but the positive response that came from all kinds of people… that is one of the things that’s touching for me.”
