Lamar Morgan 954-603-7901 | | In light of the Wall Street bailout and other things that have transpired, vacation travel may be curtailed for a lot of folks this year. I am staying put this year and celebrating the holiday with local friends. How about you? What are you doing for the holiday season this year?
Whatever you plans, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Lamar Morgan 954-603-7901 | | Angie,
Is that cartoon figure Betty Boop? Is that the cartoon character who used to say, "Poop, poop, be doop?" Doesn't that cartoon character go back to World War II? Do you know if the cartoon character is based on a real person?

From Wikipedia
Betty Boop made her first appearance on August 9,1930 in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes, the sixth installment in Fleischer's Talkartoon series. She was originally designed by Grim Natwick, a veteran animator of the silent era who would become lead director and animator for the Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney studios. The character was modeled after a combination of Helen Kane, the famous popular singer of the 1920s and contract player at Paramount Pictures (the studio that distributed Fleischer's cartoons), and Clara Bow, who was a popular actress in the 1920s who had not managed to survive the transition to sound because of her strong Brooklyn accent which nevertheless became a trademark for Betty. By direction of Dave Fleischer, Natwick designed the original character in the mode of an anthropomorphic French poodle. The character's voice was first performed by Margie Hines, and was later provided by several different voice actresses including Kate Wright, Ann Rothschild (a.k.a. Little Ann Little), Bonnie Poe, and most notably, Mae Questel who began in 1931 and continued with the role until 1938.
While the original design was rather ugly and awkward, she was developed further after Natwick's departure under Berny Wolf, Seymour Kneitel, Roland Crandall, and Willard Bowsky. Betty became finalized as completely human by 1932 in the cartoon Any Rags. Her floppy poodle ears became hoop earrings, and her black poodle nose became a girl's button-like nose. Betty appeared in ten cartoons as a supporting character, a flapper girl with more heart than brains. In individual cartoons she was called "Nancy Lee" and "Nan McGrew", usually served as a girlfriend to studio star Bimbo. details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Boop#OriginsPrivate Reply to Lindy Asimus | | |
