Funny you should ask....
Betty Boop was modeled on (ripped off from) the actress Helen Kane.
At one point, Helen sued the studio for stealing from her, but by the time she did it, her fame had dwindled and the fame of the cartoon character had soared.
She lost the lawsuit.


-Mae Questel also did the voices for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl-from the looks at dates, they switched off regularly-Helen Kane was a popular singer in the 20s who did a handful of films, her popularity began as a vocalist-
