pretty sure Universal owns the trademark and likeness. Universal Florida used to have a Betty Boop Store and they have a Betty Boop meet n greet. 

That’s Jasmine Rogers!

I can't wait to see the visual of her as Betty. Hopefully the official announcement is this week

Wish they had dragged her up a bit more, the hair should be about three times that size.

so you want a theme park caricature. see photo posted above."


Never said that. But on stage that dinky little wig won’t read as Betty Boop. She is a cartoon, after all. Big eyes, big hips, big hair. The theme park photo posted above is awful, not sure why you'd think that’s the only route you could take.

do ya'll...know what Betty Boop looks like? Never has she had big hair. And the makeup looks pretty exact.

I think she looks fabulous. And I have to imagine this isn’t the final look anyway, just a promo shot. They don’t even start performances for another 2 months.

I'm really excited for this! I dig it! 

These aren't production photos.

Which funny enough turned out to not be true that Baby Esther was the inspiration for the character. For reasons, not least of which, Baby Esther died very young, most likely not even being photographed in adulthood. A case of the internet running with it. So much so that Taraji P. Henson falsely claimed on the BET Awards that Betty was based on a Baby Esther point blank.

She was not. In fact, Betty's first incarnation was a bipedal dog. This story got went so rampant that even PBS had to publish an official retraction for essentially publishing false information.
