Betty Crocker
Betty Crocker has become such a familiar kitchen staple that it's easy to forget she was never a real person! She was born in 1921 as a kind of "Dear Abby" of the cooking world; housewives would send their baking woes to the Washburn Crosby Company (what would later become General Mills), and Betty knew all the answers! Her first portrait appeared in 1936, but has since had several makeovers to keep up with the changing times. On top of her cake mix empire, Betty Crocker has even had her own radio show, TV show, and best-selling cookbook.
