Betty in her initial debut had no race because she was a "dog woman" and was a caricature and or parody of Helen Kane. Helen Kane was an American, a New Yorker who lived in the Bronx who was of Irish-German descent. Though Betty Boop was often portrayed in person and voiced by Mae Questel a known "Helen Kane" impersonator who did the voice-over and singing in the cartoons, when Betty was initially created Grim Natwick had used a photograph of Helen Kane to create Betty Boop for the 1930 short Dizzy Dishes. ![]() If Jones had a problem, she would not have paid Helen Kane tribute. Jones was possibly aware of Kane emulating her scat singing style but did not mind and was flattered. Esther Jones was one of the latter, she was a "Boop" girl in that very MGM film short and Jones was paying tribute to Helen Kane who she'd met at the Everglades earlier that year. McGoldrick make a decision to rule in favor of the Fleischers, which is that Helen's claim to the "Boop" was common to a "number" of Boopers. Baby Esther scatting in that soundtrack footage, among other evidence given in court, is what helped the Edward J.

Esther is considered to be the "original" Booper because Jones alternatively used that gimmick, way back in 1925, long before Betty Boop and Helen Kane debuted their scat routines. The origin of Baby Esther's " Wha-Da-Da" and or a " Roop-Woop-a-Woop" links to Helen Kane's " Poop-Poop-a-Doop," " Boop-Boop-a-Doop" and Betty Boop's " Boop-Oop-a-Doop" routines. Correct information is that Esther Jones inspired Helen Kane to scat sing way back in 1928, As of 1930 Kane went on to inspire Betty Boop to use a similar gimmick and scat sing in her cartoons. Natwick used a photograph of Helen Kane to create Betty Boop, he did not say he had used "Esther Jones" as the model, as Esther was a child performer who is said to have been around "10-years-old" or "11-years-old" in 1930.
