Is it true that the big-eyed 'grey' alien image was popularised after the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill abduction account and later 1970s and 1980s media?

Yes. A reference article states the 1961 Barney and Betty Hill abduction claim was key to disseminating the Grey alien concept and its later popularity, and a book blurb describes the Hills' small grey large-eyed creatures as the template for later American alien encounters.
