Little Audrey is a character who appeared in Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios animated cartoons from 1947 to 1958. When Paramount decided not to renew the license for Marge's character Little Lulu, Famous Studios animators decided to create their own version of Little Lulu.
Animator Bill Tytla based Audrey's design on his daughter Tamara Schacher-Tytla. Little Audrey appears in Betty Boop and the Girls of Mischief, she was voiced by Mae Questel the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.
Harvey had been working on an animated picture or comic book revival of "Betty Boop" at one point in the 1950s.[1] Harvey's abandoned Betty adaptation has a striking resemblance to Little Audrey.
In 2018, Little Audrey was rebooted in the Netflix animated series Harvey Street Kids. In the reboot she is different in comparison to the original character, and is voiced by Stephanie Lemelin.
