[78-L] Mae Questel, the Betty Boop girl

[David Lennick]

Two million copies sold? Pardon me while I clean up the keyboard from having 
spat my coffee all over it.

I've seen one copy in nearly 50 years of collecting. It was recorded for Decca 
in New York, January 16, 1935.

As you all probably know was Mae the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, a.o.
