From American Profile "Ask American Profile."
A reader asked "What year did Betty Boop debut, and who was her voice?" Betty Nielsen, Lakeport, California.
Pioneer cartoon animator Max Fleischer introduced Boop as an anthropomorphic French poodle in the 1930 cartoon short "Dizzy Dishes." He transformed her into a person in the 1932 cartoon "Any Rags."
Margie Hines provided Betty's original voice, but it's the vocals of Mae Questel that most fans recognize as the "boop-oop-a-doop" flapper girl. The actress supplied Boop's voice in 150 animated shorts between 1931 and 1939.
Questel, who died in 1998 at the age of 89, also was the voice of Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoons for many years.
