Mae Questel Quotes:

[title sequence]
Singer: [singing] Betty, you cunnin' little Boop-a-dooper; / Betty, you won my heart. / Betty, you knock me for a loop-de-looper; / Betty, each time you start / Betty, it's time that we went steady; / Let's get ready for the wedding. / Betty, perhaps you'll boop-a-boop / a lullaby to a Betty bye and bye.
Singers: [singing] Made of pen and ink, / She can win you with a wink / Ain't she cute?

Mae Questel Facts
She not only provided the voice of Olive Oyl in the 'Popeye' cartoons, but the toddler Swee'pea as well. She based Oyl's quivery, nervous-nellie voice on comedic actress ZaSu Pitts.

Had a withered arm; in her on-camera film appearances, she was usually photographed with elbows bent and both hands at her waist or holding an object in the crook of her elbow to make it less obvious that one arm was shorter and smaller than the other.

Returned after a nearly 50-year hiatus to voice Betty Boop for Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
