Nope. Betty Boop was based on Helen Kane. The Fleischer brothers, who made Betty Boop, hired a Helen Kane impersonator to do the voice. Betty's voice was done by Mae Questal, who also did Popeye's Olive Oyl.
Kane sued the Fleischer brothers for making a profit with her voice and her image without her permission. She lost. These days it would have been an open and shut case in her favor (as in the case of Glover vs Speilberg).

very primative and only few had one and they were VERY expensive but they definately had them
-
@TreblePop No, she did not. She only used her novelty voice in films and songs. Her speaking voice was quite normal.
-
At least, Mae Questal's impersonation was perfect. Miss Kane should've been flattered.
-
A laugh track? They had TV in the 30s?
-
@TreblePop I've wondered about that myself- I don't think anyone knows for sure.
-
It's incredible how dead-on Mae "Betty Boop" Questel's impression of Helen Kane really was. If I didn't know any better, I couldn't tell the two apart.
-
I have a question. Did Helen Kane use that sort of voice in every day life? Or was it just something she put on as part of her image?

Helen Kane is one of my favorite singers and actresses of all time. Any film clip of Helen Kane is appreciated. I wish all her Paramount films would be made available on a boxed DVD set.

Don't we all. I have all of her films, but most of them are not in great shape, or incomplete . A restored DVD set of them would be GREAT !
