“Gerber is deeply saddened by the passing of Ann Turner Cook, the original Gerber baby, whose face was sketched to become the iconic Gerber logo more than 90 years ago,” Gerber wrote in an Instagram post. “Many years before becoming an extraordinary mother, teacher and writer, her smile and expressive curiosity captured hearts everywhere and will continue to live on as a symbol for all babies. We extend our deepest sympathies to Ann’s family and to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.”
According to the Gerber website, the original baby’s identity remained a mystery for many years, with ideas ranging from Hollywood stars Humphrey Bogart and Elizabeth Taylor to Senator Bob Dole. Turner acknowledged it was her in 1978.
