Yes, that is her true name.Barbie's real name is Barbara, and Barbara's husband's father is third cousins with J. Robert Oppenheimer, thus the surname. According to the Independent, she's a former Boston University professor--and grandmother of five--presently residing in?Newton, Massachusetts.

She recently spoke to Slate about her experience of the current 'Barbenheimer'?summer as someone with an unintentionally theme-related name.

She told the outlet, "I had college friends texting me from all over the world that weekend when [the films] came out, with the whole schmear, you know... 'the bomb and the bombshell'."?

It's quite humorous! The fact that they launched them jointly was smart. It significantly increased attendance at movie theatres.Barbara remembers seeing Oppenheimer in theatres on opening weekend to observe "how they treated his [J.Robert] story," and then seeing the Barbie movie two weeks later. She noted that they both enjoyed the films "in different ways."

When asked which movie out of the two she prefers, she couldn't answer?

Barbara's response when asked which movie she preferred was, "I can't choose. Glad I got to see both." She is a fan of both films and plans to watch them again. She is even wearing a t-shirt with the famed meme on it.?

"I'm going with a bunch of women next week, and we'll all be wearing pink. I'll be sporting my Barbenheimer T-shirt, she continued.In addition to her link to Oppenheimer, Barbara disclosed that she was a devotee of Barbie, owned a Ken, Skipper, and Midge doll, and had received the doll for her sixth birthday.?

It seems that others find Barbara's name difficult to believe because Barbenheimer has been seen everywhere this summer, which makes checking into motels a fascinating experience.I said, "Barbie Oppenheimer!" when I checked into the hotel while on vacation. "Are you pulling my leg?" the man asked.?
