	Betty Boop
		Grim Natwick[?], a veteran animator of both Walt Disney's and Ub Iwerks' studios, was largely responsible for creating the character, which he modeled on Helen Kane[?], a famous singer, who also performed as an actress at Paramount Pictures, the studio that distributed Fleischer's cartoons.
		Beginning with this cartoon, the character's voice was performed by several different voice actresses until Mae Questel[?] got the role and kept it for the rest of the series in 1931.
		Natwick himself later conceded that Betty's original look was quite ugly.

		Natwick made her film debut in John Ford's The Long Voyage Home as a cockney prostitute, but she did not pursue a Hollywood career in earnest until the mid-1940s.

	An Interview with Grim Natwick
		GN: No, this was really one of the easier scenes to do because it was moving so much we could use lots of rotoscope and for that reason it was on the close-up stuff that we had to be very careful of her eyes, nose and lips and what happened (to those things).
		Natwick is apparently confusing two different sections of the film.
		I never hated him because I was pretty much of senior member (authors’ note: Grim was nearly 45 went he went to Disney’s, easily the oldest animator by far of a group young enough to have been his children - perhaps another reason of his departure after Snow White was completed.).

		For a character that would come to personify overt female sexuality, the original version of Betty Boop created by animator Grim Natwick was a somewhat grotesque amalgamation of human and dog features.
		In her first screen appearance she was cast as a nightclub singer attempting to win the affection of then-Fleischer star, Bimbo, an anthropomorphized dog.

		As it took form over the years, the excited consensus among those lucky enough to have seen the ongoing "workprint" was that it was destined to be the greatest animated motion picture ever made.
		The project grew and evolved in an extremely haphazard fashion: As time went on, animation legends such as Grim Natwick, Art Babbitt, and Ken Harris came aboard to create startlingly beautiful sequences; they didn't always fit into the story, but Williams hadn't the heart to cut them.
		Calvert's additional footage was obviously and pitifully inferior to the work of Williams, Babbitt, Natwick, and Harris, and all the others who had spent so many years pouring their talents into The Thief and the Cobbler—and yet the Australian release was, by all accounts, reasonably fair to Williams' original vision.

		Davis signed on at Disney in 1935 and was chosen to assist the already legendary Myron “Grim” Natwick (creator of Betty Boop) to animate the character of Snow White—a plum assignment for the novice Davis.
		Grim and I did Three Men In a Tub, who were Charles Laughton, Freddie Bartholomew and Spencer Tracy.
