Baseball cards, Nerf toys, Cabbage Patch Kids and the Fisher-Price Corn Popper are all entering the National Toy Hall of Fame. One classic toy that didn't make the cut? Barbie's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ken.
"Kenough," as he was dubbed in this year's blockbuster "Barbie" movie, was left out despite seeing renewed global attention after being portrayed in the film by Ryan Gosling.
Doll Barbie was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1998. To some extent, Ken's exclusion meshes with his role in the film, where in one scene he sings, "Doesn't seem to matter what I do. I'm always No. 2."
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
