Idk why.

Most of Clara Bow's persona as the jazz-baby vamp were embedded into Betty Boop's persona. Paramount Pictures admitted that Bow was the model for Betty Boop. The Fleischers however wouldn't admit to stealing anyone's image.
Bow's dress was one of the inspirations for Betty's outfit.
Betty Boop was originally a redhead and she had blue eyes. This has been confirmed by her creator Grim Natwick, Little Ann Little the voice of Betty Boop and cartoon historian Leslie Cabarga.
The Fleischer Studios stole from many women, such as Louise Brooks, Greta Garbo, Mae West and others to develop Betty Boop.
Helen Kane sued the Fleischers as she felt that her boop oop a doop had been taken away. It later came out that she was not the first booper or baby doll in the business.
The boop oop a doop was used earlier in Harlem nightclubs by a multitude of African American jazz singers. It was quite common to boop or doop in songs.
Bow had retired in 1933, so at the height of Bow's fame, there was no competition between Bow and Boop.
Later in life Bow battled schizophrenia, but while doing so, she was a fan of Marilyn Monroe. Monroe was also like Betty Boop. Clara Bow was the original Marilyn Monroe.
Redheaded girls and women dominated the 1920s and 1930s.
When you think of Jessica Rabbit or Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood, please think of Betty Boop's origination as a redhead in 1930.
Betty Boop drawn and colorized by Grim Natwick - 1930 to 1931.
