Margie Hines as Betty Boop from 1930-1932 and 1938-1939. Known as The Original Betty Boop, the first Betty Boop, and last in the original series. She voiced Betty in 1930 and returned to voice the character for Betty's initial retirement in 1939.
Mae Questel as Betty Boop from 1931-1934 and 1934-1938. She is the most "famous" voice of Betty Boop. But was not the "original" or first.
Margie Hines as Betty Co-ed in 1931. Though Mae Questel took credit for this role in a 1970s interview, it is actually Margie Hines, the other voices of Betty Boop are notable for taking Margie Hines' credits and pulling them off as their own, the other being Little Ann Little, who swiped most of Hines' credits in "Boop" history. Questel was possibly a background singer in the Betty Co-Ed cartoon, as both actresses for the Fleischer Studios shared roles in 1931, they would also take turns playing Betty Boop.
Mae Questel as Olive Oyl from 1933-1938. She would return to the role of Olive Oyl in 1944, when Margie Hines quit show business, also possibly due to Hines' divorce from Jack Mercer.
