On August 9, 1930, legendary animator Max Fleischer’s studio created the
now-iconic Betty Boop for a short called “Dizzy Dishes.” Betty’s part was tiny –
in fact, she hadn’t even been named yet – and featured her as a canine cabaret
singer. But within two years, Betty would become human, and by 1933, the
coquettish vamp with the big green eyes would be batting lashes and stealing
hearts across the country.

She sang, she danced, she starred in more than 100 cartoons, several Big
Little Books, two syndicated comic strips and two animateds specials on CBS.
Today, she’s a mass market icon and you can find her likeness on just about any
product imaginable.

Timeless, endearing, and classic, here’s to you, Betty Boop as you ring in
your 75th year of red-dress wearing glory.
