Date of Birth: August 8, 1930Designed by Max Fleischer for Paramount Studio's Talkartoons, Betty Boop began as a dog (a dog?) By 1930 she had evolved into a coy flapper whose innocent skirt-lifting and trademark line "boop-boop-a-doop" were sweetly suggestive of more than just singing and dancing. She starred in over 100 cartoons from 1931 to 1939, getting increasingly less saucy (and less popular). She continues to have strong merchandising power.
Mae Questal, the voice of Olive Oyl, also did Betty's. (I did not know that)

Both Olive Oil and Betty? How cool. I didn't know either.
ReplyDeleteAll those cartoons from the 30's are so surreal. when i watch them I feel like I'm having a serious flashback - wow. Even the early Micky Mouse was so strange.
