She was also the model for the Gerber Baby < /semiobscure trivia>
she isnt' old enough is she?......always thought it was someone else semi famous that was the Gerber baby
I had heard this was Frank Sinatra. (urban legend?)
(With my best Johnny Carson impression...) I did not know that.
Thought that was Suzanne Sommers
I'm sorry but you are wrong, Humphrey Bogart was the model for Gerber Baby!
"People polled throughout the United States have guessed that the Gerber Baby grew up to be Humphrey Bogart, Elizabeth Taylor and even Bob Dole. But Ann Turner Cook, mystery novelist and retired English teacher, knows the real answer. She was the subject of a simple charcoal sketch by Dorothy Hope Smith, an artist who specialized in drawing children.

People I know think my son was the model for the Gerber Baby, I kid you not.
I used to forge Dan Gerber's signature on RNC fundraising letters. He was state (honorary) chairman, and I could somehow get his signature better than other staffers.But no, no connection to my son being the spitting image of the Gerber Baby. LOL
She wasn't the model for the Gerber baby--some non-famous lady holds that title. The lady is pretty old--born in the 20's or 30's. I think Jane did do Gerber commercials as an adult for awhile though.
"When [Gerber] put out the call for baby face images to use in advertising campaigns for their newly-developed baby foods, they chose Ann Cook (née Turner) of Westport, Connecticut, the daughter of cartoonist Leslie Turner."
