Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past… I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on, all day, all night. Soon, where Toontown once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see.

My God, it'll be beautiful!

Mae Questel (1908 – 1998) was an American actress best known for providing the voices for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. She was born to an Orthodox Jewish family that actively discouraged her from a career in show business. Nevertheless at the age of 17 she set out to follkw that carreer - first performing in vaudeville as an impersonator. she did impressions of Fanny Brice, Marlene Dietrich, Mae West, Maurice Chevalier and others. Eventually she was seen by animator Max Fleischer, who was looking for an actress to provide the voice for his Betty Boop character. Many years later she reprised her role as Betty Boop in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
She appeared as an actress in several films including A Majority of One, Funny Girl, and Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. She also appeared in. any commercials, most famously as Aunt Bluebell in the Scott Towel ads.

the classic movie #WhoFramedRogerRabbit is considered a dream cross over because of how unlikely it was. It's mainly remembered as a vehicle to allow Disney and Warner Bros cartoons to finally, for the first time ever, cross over, but it actually involved basically every classic era movie studio coming together. This included Paramount, which distributed the original Fleischer Studios popeye and betty boop shorts. Betty Boop appears in the movie, but #Popeye was supposed to get a big camero too:

@socketwench Bonus trivia fact:

I grew up in a town where literally nothing exciting ever happened. We did have an old cinema though, which turned out to be the oldest cinema in the UK that was still running, or something like that. (Bonus fact 2: That was where I saw Star Wars in 1977).

Then, one day Hollywood shows up in town. They shot all of the #whoframedrogerrabbit cinema scenes inside OUR cinema! Bob Hoskins walked down our High Street! That week was the most exciting week our town had ever seen. People still talk about it today - And even mention it on Mastodon at any opportunity.
