Helen Kane

Helen Kane (born Helen Clare Schroeder, August 4, 1904 – September 26, 1966) was an American singer and actress.Her signature song was "I Wanna Be Loved by You" (1928), featured in the 1928 stage musical Good Boy.

The song was written for Good Boy by the songwriting team Kalmar and Ruby.Kane's voice and appearance were thought to be a source for Fleischer Studios animators when creating Betty Boop.

Kane attempted to sue the studio for claims of stealing her signature "boop-oop-a-doop" style, but the judge decided that the proof of this was insufficient, thus dismissing the case.
