Most of us know her as Barbie, but her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. From a UNICEF Ambassador to a Canadian Mountie, she’s had a lot of careers in her life since she made her debut at the American Toy Fair in 1959.

And this summer, we’ll get the chance to walk through her fabulous pink world.
