Mae Questel

Born: 9/13/1908

Questel began performing in vaudeville in her late teens. Her “boop-oop-a-doop ”routine won her the job of providing Betty Boop's voice in the popular series of animated shorts (1931–39). She also supplied the vocal cords for Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoon series (1933–67) and sometimes for the cartoon characters Little Audrey and Casper the Friendly Ghost. Questel's recording of “The Good Ship Lollipop” sold 2 million copies during the 1930s.
