OK, I was mistaken...the 50's
Late in the 1950's, Mattel decided to create a talking doll that would appeal to all girls of every age. She had to look and sound just like a real little girl, so a real little girl was used as the model, from the chubbiness to the impish grin to the two little protruding teeth. Her name was Margaret. June Foray, who did the voice for 'Rocky the Flying Squirrel', was chosen for Chatty's voice, saying all 11 original phrases. And in 1960, the first Chatty Cathy doll hit the stores......and history was made.
It's sad that there's a website, but here it is...
