The first and most famous animated sex symbol, Betty Boop, was inspired by a black jazz singer in Harlem.
The iconic cartoon character Betty Boop has been traced back to Esther Jones who was known as "Baby Esther" who performed at the Cotton Club.
Now we had to assume Betty Boop was created in the image of a sista because that body is just too curvaceous and thick! Just another little known black history fact as we celebrate Black History Month in February and beyond.
