![]() But the truth is the Fleischers had no idea who Esther Jones was until Helen Kane sued them, so they were not thinking of "Esther Jones" when they created Betty Boop, they were more or less thinking of Helen Kane, who was emulating Clara Bow, Kane was Bow's protégé. To claim that Betty Boop had originally debuted as "Black" would be a fabrication and lie, because Betty did not. Up until one day long after Betty Boop series had ended, Questel was told by a producer that she would probably not get any work in Hollywood if she didn't "drop" the "Betty Boop" persona.īig Freedia has a music video "Betty Bussit" dedicated to both Betty Boop and Esther Jones.Ī majority of "African-Americans" assume that Betty Boop is Black because Baby Esther Jones was a Black girl. Especially Mae Questel, who lived as "Betty Boop" for a few years, some of her mannerisms were merged into Betty's persona. The women who voiced Betty Boop, Little Ann Little, Bonnie Poe, Margie Hines and Questel also inspired Betty's image, and they served as models for the animators, and also appeared as Betty in person at events. ![]() This included Mae West, Louise Brooks, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. After Natwick left the studio, the Fleischers not only used Kane, but a multitude of women of the 1920s to develop Betty. And that is why Clara Bow is often also thought of as the model for Betty Boop because she also played a great influence on the character's image and risqué behavior. However Helen Kane " who was not so original" never told anyone that she herself, was originally emulating or trying to emulate Clara Bow earlier on in her career. But Grim Natwick throughout his life, told the actual story of the creation of Betty Boop and who they had used to create Betty, which was Helen Kane. But because Helen Kane sued and lost, the Fleischers after winning would never own up to it. Had Kane not sued them, they may have revealed this. Helen Kane was the initial base for Betty Boop, though this has been discredited and debated due to the Fleischers not telling the truth. We’ll be more than happy to add it to our list.Though Betty Boop was often portrayed in person and voiced by Mae Questel a known "Helen Kane" impersonator who did the voice-over and singing in the cartoons, when Betty was initially created Grim Natwick had used a photograph of Helen Kane to create Betty Boop for the 1930 short Dizzy Dishes. ![]() We hope this blog was useful for you and if you think we have missed an iconic character in our list, please let us know in the comments section below.
