I Agree <3

Bonnie Poe's Betty Boop voice was very diffrent to Mae's, Bonnie's was more babyish, in 1933 she played betty opposite Bela Lugosi and afterwards she covered many of the voiceovers for Betty in the 1934 Betty Boop shorts. Not to mention that she was also the voice of Olive Oyl. She was wonderful, shame there wasnt much more of her, She ran to Radio after 1934, and proberly quit showbuisness afterwards. she can last be heard as betty & olive in a few 1938 shorts.
