Where did the Advertising icons go?

Did you know that some advertising icons (Wendy and the Gerber baby for example) were based on real people and children? Find out what happened to some of these former icons "role models". I like this article, because it's different from those "where are they now child stars" stories. This one is not about former child actors. I was actually surprised to learn that the Dutch Boy, Sailor Jack and Big Bob were based on real children.
