With Bimbo playing a fortune-teller (and KoKo the Clown as his assistant), this 1933 cartoon is all about Betty seeing into her past -- and her future. 

Rife with sexual innuendo and classic Fleischer gags, Is My Palm Red also features a very naked Baby Betty Boop, an island inhabited by lustful ghosts and even a licentious ocean wave that can’t resist giving Betty a love-pat.
Click here to watch Is My Palm Read and find out what Betty Boop does in this cartoon... that she does none other!

Back in September we shared this fun and fanciful Betty Boop-themed bra designed and built by Max Fleischer's great-grand daughter Karin Kneitel, who went on to win second place in a "Cups for a Cure" contest sponsored by PSEG. 

We were thrilled to learn that Karin's design was later selected as one of a handful of bras that will be offered for auction as part of an upcoming Creative Cups event in support of the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program. 
We are even more thrilled to report that this unique one-of-a-kind bra will be featured on New York's NBC's Weekend Today in New York with Pat Battle, this coming Sunday, February 22nd! 

If you are in the New York Metro Area, you can find Weekend Today in New York on NBC/Channel 4 from 6:00am-8:30am... a little bird told us to look for it around 8:00am.

New in our Theater: Betty Boop in "On With The New"!

2/10/2015

0 Comments

 
We're thrilled to share the newest addition to our virtual theater with all of you! "On With the New," released in 1938 features Betty Boop as a disgruntled coffee shop employee who quickly learns to be “careful what you wish for.” 

Jam-packed with the Fleischer’s hallmark wacky humor and unexpected, but always ingenious, time-saving inventions, it is also reflects the enforced "respectability" of the Hays Production Code era.

Remembering Mae Questel, the Voice of Betty Boop

2/1/2015

 
In this, the second installment of our Max and Me series, Ginny Mahoney - Max Fleischer's grand-daughter - shares one of her favorite memories of voice artist Mae Questel, perhaps best remembered as the voice of Betty Boop.

Max and Me... by Ginny Mahoney

As Max Fleischer’s granddaughter I’ve had to the opportunity to meet some amazing people, including Mae Questel. The voice artist most often identified with Betty Boop, Mae was in fact an enormously talented and versatile voice artist whose character work ranged from voices for Olive Oyl to Casper the Friendly Ghost, and even - when Jack Mercer (the voice of Popeye) was drafted in WWII - Popeye! Later, Mae went on to play Aunt Bluebell in a well-known series of commercials for Scott Towels and, among other impressive credits, appeared in the films of Woody Allen.  
One of my favorite memories of Mae is actually a phone call she made to me while visiting my mother, Ruth, in New York sometime around 1970. I was a young mother at the time, living in Washington, D.C. and at home with three young kids, including my eldest, Jeni, who was six at the time and absolutely loved Casper the Ghost.

“Put Jeni on the phone,” Mae said when she heard Jeni was a fan.  

“Hi Jeni…this is Casper,” Mae intoned in Casper’s iconic friendly voice.  Mae, as Casper, then proceeded to have an entire conversation with Jeni. “Wait,” Casper finally said, “let me get Betty Boop!” After talking to Betty, Jeni when on to have  conversations with Popeye, Olive Oyl and about a half dozen other characters.

Mae’s lovely and very generous gesture made for a very special day in the Mahoney household, and wonderfully exemplifies the spirit of this vibrant and talented artist.  

For more, check out Finding Her Voice in our virtual museum, featuring Mae Questel and the five other women who voiced Betty in the 1930s.
