How her style was created.

Betty's figure was modeled after Mae West's and her singing style taken from Helen Kane the "Boop-Boop-a-Doop" girl. The voice of Betty was that of a young lady by the name of May Questal. Max & Dave Fleisher produced the cartoon “Talkartoons” for Paramount.

Betty’s debut

Betty Boop's on screen debut was in 1930 in a little film called "Dizzy Dishes". The part was small but it gave her the opportunity to show off her musical talents. In 1931 Betty's friends Koko the clown and Pudgy, Bimbo's replacement’s were introduced. Betty finally came into her own with "Betty Co-Ed" when she shed her dog identity and the long ears became earrings.
