Bela Lugosi[edit]

Didn't she appear in a short with Bela Lugosi? She actually appeared as a live action Betty Boop, as I remember. Lugosi played Dracula, saying "Betty! You haf booped your last boop!" just before sinking his fangs into Questal's neck. Worth a mention, if we can find the name of the short? 77.69.34.203 (talk) 09:19, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Didn't Mae Questel do the voices of Popeye and Bluto herself while the male voice actors were overseas in World War Two?

I thought a couple of other women did the voice of Betty Boop for the first few cartoons before Mae Questel became the permanent voice.

Wow! My last name is Questel. I thought i was the only one. 71.249.82.78 19:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a copy of the "Hollywood on Parade" with Bela Lugosi on a VHS tape "Mondo Lugosi". The setting is a Hollywood Waxworks and Mae appears as a waxwork/live action version of Betty Boop and not as herself. Lugosi as Dracula fangs Betty but not before telling her "Bet-ty, yoo 'ave boo-ooped yur last Boo-oop!" 203.171.197.65 (talk) 12:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@203.171.197.65

Im sorry to say but mae questel did not play the role of betty boop in hollywood on parade. the person you are refering to is Bonnie Poe the other voice of Betty Boop all the books that state that it is mae questel or either helen kane are wrong.

mae questel did play Betty Boop, but she played betty boop in 1931, Musical Justice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariahlovesyou (talk • contribs) 19:56, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Withered Arm[edit]

Mae Questel did not have a withered arm. I know her son Richard. Sep 3, 2019 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.142.8 (talk) 17:48, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It doesnt look at all like she has one in this vid with bela lugosi.--85.180.22.82 (talk) 17:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what is wrong with you? do you not read statements?

that is not mae questel who was featured with Bela lugosi in hollywood on parade

it was Bonnie Poe the other voice of betty boop, if i must remind you betty boop was voiced by more than one person.

@Missymay: There's really no need to be so confrontational, the IP asked a perfectly reasonable question, and the information about her arm isn't supported by a citation. If this is something you read in a book, if you have the title and the author, you can add it as a reference, and that will certainly help with people accepting the information. Also, as I mentioned on my talk page in response to your comment there, you need to "assume good faith" about the actions of other editors -- it's one of the little things that helps Wikipedia to function that we give each other the benefit of the doubt as much as possible.

One other thing I didn't mention before, it's that no one "owns" an article on Wikipedia, and gets to be the "decider" about what happens on it. Everything is supposed to be decided collectively, with civil discussion between editors who are all your colleagues in creating this encyclopedia. It's fine to feel protective about an article that you've worked on, and to protect it from vandalism and other bad stuff, but when it comes to people who are just trying to help out, or wondering about some of the information in it, you have to behave like just another editor, and not like the owner of the page. Believe me, I know that can be difficult, but we all try to do our best at it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:30, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I Agree with you 100 percent Beyond my ken, and i personally wasnt confronting the user of the Ip i was just trying to tell the person. and that persons question was It didnt look at all like she has one in this vid with bela lugosi. and the reason was becuse it wasnt mae questel im sorry if it seemed like i was moaning but i wasnt i was just trying to tell the person by correcting them.

But i personally think its not right crediting someone who didnt actually play the part becuse of false information. mabey i do need to add a few references for

Musical justice & The musical doctor

im not against mae questel or anything, im actually trying to correct the information so i guess i will add some references. becuse thats the only way to sort out her live action roles with rudy valle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Missymay03 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually i just did a check and someone already added the refrences. i know other references so im not sure whenever to add them or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Missymay03 (talk • contribs) 20:44, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
