In late 1800s girl killed herself by jumping from bridge on Sienna river and she was known as The Unknown Woman of the Seine.

When the guy who worked in morgue saw her, he thought she was beautiful and ordered a plaster cast of her face.

Fast foward to 1960s, CPR was invented and they needed a doll to train people. So they partnered with Norwegian producer of medical devices. That guy decided to use the plaster cast of Unknown Woman of the Seine and named the doll Anne(Annie) because his doughter was named Anne(Annie).

While performing CPR, people were trained to talk to a doll(person) so there is that common phrase:"Annie! Annie are you ok?"

Fast foward to when Michael Jackson decided to put that phrase in his classic "Smooth Criminal".

Health really is the most important thing so i've decided to be a bit more active.

After my Grandad turned 80 he decided to walk a mile every day. He's 87 now . . . . and we have no idea where he is
