Mae Questel

Post by Kitty »

Mae Questel, sometimes spelled Questal was the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, among others for cartoons. What you may not know is that she was also a singer and recorded a bunch of songs, in the Betty Boop style, of course! Here's the cute On the Good Ship Lollipop, which is mostly associated with Shirley Temple.

She had a most unusual voice—a natural for cartoon voice work.
