2186389The Life and Times of Betty Boophttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-life-and-times-of-betty-boop/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1962758/92737a85-9157-4849-97b6-9d8146ba7d62.jpg?v=638861144693200000320337MXNBloomsbury PublishingInStock/Ebooks/<p>From the moment she uttered her first boop-oop-a-doop! in 1930, Betty Boop secured her place in history and in the hearts of countless fans. Whether spreading joy during the Depression, thwarting Hitler, running for US president, or flaunting sexual mores, Betty has always been a true American original, embodying and commenting on the culture and attitudes of her time for nearly a century.<br />The Life and Times of Betty Boop is a lively account of the first female, fully human cartoon character, beginning with her creation by the rebellious and innovative young artists of Fleischer Studios, an upstart animation shop intent on competing with Disney. Author Peter Benjaminson traces Bettys remarkable evolution (originally a dog character, she only gradually became the chanteuse we know today) and dives into the lawsuit that entertainer Helen Kane brought against the Fleischers for allegedly appropriating her imageonly for it to come to light that Kane had herself lifted her act from various Black performers.<br />Benjaminson follows Betty through successive historical eras, rebelling against Hollywoods censorious Hays Code, finding her own path as a self-starting feminist icon, and spawning a merchandising empire that includes everything from watches to wine to Thanksgiving Day floats. Throughout, he shows how, for all her transformations, Bettys verve and pluck have made her the object of enduring affection.</p>...2156309The Life and Times of Betty Boop320337https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-life-and-times-of-betty-boop/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1962758/92737a85-9157-4849-97b6-9d8146ba7d62.jpg?v=638861144693200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781493064298_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_<p>Although Amazon.com is now selling more than 3,000 commercial products bearing Betty Boops image, including calendars, tote bags, coffee mugs, and books about how young women can be more like Betty, no one has ever published a book about Betty herself.</p><p>The first biography of a major American cultural symbol ever written, <em>The Life and Times of Betty Boop describes Betty Boops incredibly active romantic and family life as revealed in her numerous comic strips, comic books, cartoons, and movies since 1930.</em></p><p>Award-winning author Peter Benjaminson details the creation of Betty Boop, based on two African American female entertainers who were the human models for Bettys character. He explores the many alterations of Bettys appearance, attitudes, and behavior over the years. Benjaminson also reveals the stories of the women who provided her with a speaking and singing voice, along with the backgrounds, intentions, and careers of Bettys numerous creators and animators.</p><p><em>The Life and Times of Betty Boop indulges in the controversies surrounding the character, including her adventures with Felix the Cat (a four-year daily comic strip production).</em></p><p>Benjaminson illuminates social trends that have kept Betty popular for nearly a century, including her recent transition from a helpless sex object to a feminist icon and her massive popularity with young American women.</p>...(*_*)9781493064298_<p>From the moment she uttered her first boop-oop-a-doop! in 1930, Betty Boop secured her place in history and in the hearts of countless fans.
