From 1928 to 1931, Ann Turner Cook was the original face of Gerber. Earlier in the morning, the 85-year-old American mystery novelist appeared on the TODAY show to pass the torch to the newly appointed face of Gerber, 8-month-old Mary Jane Montoya. Mary Jane was one of 300,000 children who's parents entered for a chance to have their child represent the Gerber brand in 2013. As the lucky of winner of this year's contest, the adorable toddler will receive a nationwide Gerber ad and a $50,000 cash prize placed into her college fund.
