To the delight of mothers and daughters everywhere, Betsy debuted on the cover of McCall's Magazine in May 1951. In 1957, Betsy jumped from the pages of McCall's Magazine into the active hands of her loyal fans as an 8-inch hard plastic doll. Produced by the American Character Doll Company in conjunction with McCall's this Betsy was an instant hit as a playtime friend! In 2000, the Tonner Doll Company reintroduced 8-inch Betsy McCall as a high quality doll for play and collection based on the original Tiny Betsy.
