Betty's wicked stepmother the Queen appears in Snow White.[1]
"Magic mirror in my hand, who's the fairest in the land?" the Queen asks her Magic Mirror, to which the mirror replies that she is. The Queen asks the mirror who is the fairest person in the realm when Betty pays her a visit.
According to the mirror, Betty is. The enraged Queen orders her guards to put Betty to death, but Betty manages to flee and survive. Later, the Queen comes to see the location of Betty's burial and asks, "Am I the fairest in the place?" The mirror answers, "If I were you, I'd hide my face!"
Koko is subsequently transformed into a ghost when he sings "St. James Infirmary Blues" by the Queen, who uses her mirror to transform herself into an elderly hag. Betty is protected within the ice coffin as Koko and Bimbo transform into ice sculptures. The Queen returns to normal after defeating her opponents and inquires as to whether she is the fairest.
She is transformed into a repulsive monster by the mirror, while everyone else returns to normal. Until Bimbo grabs her tongue and gives her a powerful pull that turns her inside out, the Queen pursues Betty and her pals.

Trivia
- She bears some resemblence to Olive Oyl.
- At the beginning of the cartoon the Queen is shown flashing her wedding ring, indicating that she is married to Betty Boop's father. But like Betty Boop's Grandma who is referenced in Dizzy Red Riding Hood, the episode is based on a fairy tale, and the appearance of the Queen is non-canon.
- In Hurray for Betty Boop the Wicked Queen is called Donnie Marie, a likely reference to the Osmond siblings Donny and Marie.
- The Queen's role is a shared role. Mae Questel voices the Queen at the beginning of the animated cartoon, then Bonnie Poe using a deeper vocal briefly takes over, because Betty and the Queen's voices overlap. Mae Questel provides the voice dialogue for the Queen near to the end of the cartoon when she uses the Magic Mirror.
