Special thanks and salutations to Max and Dave Fleischer, Grim Natwick, Dave Tendler, Orestes Calpini, Seymor Kneitel, Myron Waldman and their colleagues. With gratitude and dedication to Leslie Carbarga author of The Fleisher Story, who through his artistic talents designing most of the "Betty" merchandise sold since the early 1970's, has kept the Betty Boop / Fleisher image alive! And to the late Mae Questel, the most popular and beloved of our Betty voice-over artists.
