Helen Kane - Boop Boop A Doop Girl

“I was rich but I wasn’t having any fun. I bought half a mountain in Beverly Hills with a big mansion and a swimming pool. The place was so big that for two weeks I didn’t even see some relatives that were living with me. My friends were having a wonderful time drinking and eating as my guests. Carts were going by loaded with food and liquor. But I was dying. I was on a diet so I couldn’t eat or drink. Before I was famous I always had a good time.” – Helen Kane
