It's like being the lead in the show….” 2 Last year, we were at a bar mitzvah in Rochester, and 100 people came in a snowstorm to see me. People come up to me on the streets, in restaurants. The kind of recognition I get from this commercial is like if I made 10 movies a year. In a 1978 interview with the Washington Post she said, “To be a spokeswoman in a commercial, this is one of those things an actor looks forward to, you can sit back and do other things with a commercial…. Others may also remember Mae Questel as “Aunt Bluebell” in commercials for Scott Towels. 2 Mae appeared in movies, including in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation as “Aunt Bethany.”Ĭlark (Chevy Chase): Since this is Aunt Bethany's 80th Christmas, I think she should lead us in the saying of grace.Īunt Bethany: What, dear?Īunt Bethany: Grace? She passed away 30 years ago.Īunt Bethany: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. In all, she spoke for more than 60 cartoon characters 1 in 1,900 cartoons. Mae also voiced dozens of lesser-known characters.
Mae Questel was not the original voice for Betty Boop (that was Margie Hines), but she was Betty for the longest period of time, from 1931 to 1938 and then again in 1988 when Betty made a brief cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Mae was an extraordinary voice talent-she made Casper the Friendly Ghost come to life as well as Felix the Cat, Little Lulu, Little Audrey, Olive Oyl, Sweet Pea and even Popeye (in one cartoon).
