À propos de cet audio

 In 1934, singer Helen Kane sued Max Fleischer and Paramount Pictures for $250,000, claiming they stole her voice and persona to create Betty Boop. The courtroom battle exposed a shocking truth: Kane herself had appropriated her famous "boop-oop-a-doop" style from a young Black performer named Baby Esther Jones.
