The woman credited with bringing the Barbie doll to international prominence as the founder of toy giant Mattel, fell victim to breast cancer and an SEC investigation of fraud allegations. Despite the odds, she came away a winner. Always fight back until you win. Who hasn't seen the energetic Ron Popeil, founder of Ronco, on cable television flacking one gadget or another. But there is another side to this marvelous pitchman, who emerged from a devastating bankruptcy to reclaim the crown as king of the cable TV pitchmen.
Hope springs eternal.
