Mattel says it’s like ... ‘Being John Malkovich’?!?

Sheryl Leach, the creator of Barney and Friends, got her inspiration for the character from her son Patrick who has been arrested for attempted murder in Malibu, California. In an exclusive section of Malibu, Patrick Leach, 27, and his neighbor, Eric Shanks, were having a property dispute and the shooting took place following an argument.
