Betty Boop by Truus, Bob & Jan too! Via Flickr: Swedish card by Allers Familj-Journal, no. 55, in the "Stjärnparaden" series. The magazine started in 1879 and became "Allers Familj-Journal" in 1894. At the end of the 1930s, the name was shortened to 'Allers". The magazine published movie star cards in the 1930s. We don't know why Betty Boop has blonde hair on this card. Collection: Marlene Pilaete. Betty Boop is one of the most enduring and recognisable animated characters in film history, a true icon of the Jazz Age. Created by Grim Natwick at the request of Max Fleischer, she appeared in 90 animated films between 1930 and 1939. 'La Boop' quickly became known as 'The Queen of the Animated Screen.' She is the first fully human, all-female animated character, rising from a supporting role to star in her own popular series, produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures. On 11 February 2026, she makes her debut on our blog European Film Star Postcards!
