Mae Questel's Imitations

Marlene Dietrich, Im Falling in Love Again
Maurice Chevalier, I would say you know Imitate me Right Now!

Max was looking for a Character that had a singing voice and a high pitch voice (Boopy Doopy Doopy Doo Boop Boopy Doop!) - Bonnie Poes Booping as Betty Boop
I Think i Spoke like that, i really did i had a High Voice But since then i lowered my voice i had too
becuse everytime i did a show or did something else the Director would say mae your doing the Betty Boop Voice Again! isnt that something

I think ive said enough and want to say goodbye no! Button up your Overcoat! Duh Doo Duh Doo!
when the wind is free, take good care of yourself you belong to me!
This is Betty Boop saying Boop Oop e Doop Oop

Button up your overcoat! when the wind is free, and take good care of yourself you belong to me! Boop Oop e Doop

Eat an Apple everyday, Get to bed by three and take good care of yourself you belong to me! Oooh!
Be Careful Crossing Streets! Oooh! and cut out meat! Now Now now now now! and cut out Sweet! Oooh! you will get a pain and ruin your tum tum! Keep away from College Boys when your on a spree! and take good care of yourself you belong to me! Boop Oop e Doop Oop

Marjories Hines? She didnt get much credit for her voice over work and impersonations, but i agree with you she sounds more like Helen Kane than Mae Questel.

[paulj0557]

Helen Kane is the original, but I'd have to say that Marjie Hines was very true to her craft as well.

I cant remember the source's, i think this was recorded not long before she died. its nice to know a tiny bit about her voice work.

[goldsman]

Where are these recordings from? Very interesting!

@Postduster

that wasnt to credit bonnie poe as the original, its just they used bonnie poes booping in the interview, and mae responded saying i think i sounded like that.

they would never bring helen kane up in any interviews and none of the voices of Betty Boop would admit that it was a kane impersonation.

although we do know in fact it all was a helen kane impersonation or mae questel wouldnt be preforming

( Button up your Overcoat) as Betty Boop.

You would think that after her many successful years in show business that Mae would finally admit that she stole or at least "borrowed" Helen Kane's personna. Crediting Bonnie Poe was an outrageous insult to the woman whose career she helped ruin.
