🎬 Interesting Whitney Houston & The Bodyguard Fact
Did you know? Although this Barbie is officially inspired by Whitney Houston's “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)” music video, there is an amazing connection to The Bodyguard.
Whitney had actually expressed interest in having a Barbie inspired by her role in the 1992 movie The Bodyguard and its hugely successful soundtrack. The idea was discussed with Mattel around 20 years ago, but the project never came to fruition at the time. The eventual Barbie Signature doll celebrates a different iconic era of Whitney's career.
And there's another exciting reason this release is special: it was launched on 9 August 2026, what would have been Whitney Houston's 63rd birthday.
