The Real Inspiration And Evolution Of The Betty Boop Cartoon

Mae Questel’s Later Career

After her Betty Boop days were behind her, voice actress Mae Questel continued her career. First she worked in radio, in The Green Hornet and Perry Mason, and later on Broadway and in television shows and ads. Questel’s acting career experienced an enormous comeback in 1988, when she was cast in the animated film Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Woody Allen’s New York Stories. Many of Questel’s younger fans probably remember her best as Aunt Bethany from the National Lampoon comedy franchise. Sadly, she developed Alzheimer’s disease and passed away in 1998 when she was 89 years old.
