Betty Boop: Queen of Cartoons

In 1930, with the immortal words, "Boop Boop Be Doop", a star was born. This new episode in the acclaimed Biography series chronicles the life and times of the cartoon bombshell, including her trouble with the censors (a Hollywood cartoon dress code was even made in her honor). Combining interviews and archival footage, the program examines the evolution of Max Fleischer's famous creation, the zeal of contemporary memorabilia collectors, and Betty's most famous clips. There's even a classic bit featuring Betty with Cab Calloway; the latter as a walrus singing "Minnie the Moocher." Recommended. Other new biography entries include Jim Carrey, Ronald Reagan, Mary Tyler Moore, Moses, and Henry Kissinger. Aud: J, H, C, P. (R. Pitman)
