Grim Natwick created fictional character Betty Boop the "Boop-Oop-a-Doop" girl in 1930 for a one-shot appearance. Paramount Pictures urged the Fleischer Studios to develop the concept. Max Fleischer created Bimbo and Koko the Clown but Betty was 100% Natwick's idea and creation. Natwick was under contract when he produced Betty because he was employed by the Fleischers at the time. Betty Boop had achieved worldwide fame by 1932.
This site includes everything relating to the "Boop-Boop-Be-Doop" cult which was in-vogue from 1928 to 1934. The "Boop" was a prominent scat-singing term used by a number of "flapper girl vocalists" in the 1920s. The phrases "Boop-Boop-a-Doop," "Boop-Oop-a-Doop," "Boop-Boop-Ba-Doop," and "Boop-Boop-Be-Doop" are all interchangeable and originate from general scat rhymes, which according to the Fleischer Studios originated from Black nightclubs in Harlem.
Recently, Betty Boop returned in the all-new musical Boop! the Betty Boop Musical.

Did you know that the "It-Girl" Clara Bow partially inspired the creation of Betty Boop? The Fleischers used Louise Brooks, Mae West, Greta Garbo, and Marlene Dietrich as well as other classic movie stars to enhance Betty's attractiveness. Mae Questel, Little Ann Little, Margie Hines and Bonnie Poe often served as base for the character's "Boop-Boop-Be-Doop" persona, which was partially based on singer Helen Kane. Kane was not the voice of Betty Boop, and did not voice her in the cartoons. However the Fleischers acknowledge "no one" as the model or inspiration for Betty Boop. You can find out more in the "Fleischer Studios vs. Helen Kane" article.
"Betty Boop was modeled after Clara Bow, so if you want to know more about who Betty Boop was, you need to know a lot more about who Clara Bow was. And so as the voice of Betty Boop I did my best Clara Bow imitation."
Did you know that the initial scat-singing routines that Betty is best known for were "alternatively" originated and created by African-American female performers from the musical Shuffle Along? The Fleischers utilized the M-G-M Short "Movietone: Little Esther" by Esther Jones to defend their studios when the Helen Kane sued them, claiming to be the creator of the "Boop" routine. When Kane's lack of originality was exposed in court, she lost. Jones' scatting methods were akin to Shuffle Along. You can find out more in the "What Ever Happened to Baby Esther?" article. You can also find out more in "The Life and Times of Betty Boop" a brand new book about Betty's life and origin.
Did you know that Betty Boop served as an early inspiration for Snow White, a Disney character? Snow White resembles Betty Boop quite a bit in the early designs. Even with the finalized drawing of Snow White, she still looks similar to Betty. In a 1983 interview, Adriana Caselotti acknowledged that Snow White had a childlike speaking voice and that she mimicked Betty Boop's tone by removing the Brooklyn accent.
Betty Boop is that popular that many characters have parodied or imitated her. Meet some of the Betty Boop copy-cat characters.
