Also on Facebook: HELEN KANE: Born in Hunts Point, but growing up in Soundview, she became the symbol of a 1920s flapper, becoming a widely-known singer, with kewpie-doll looks and a doll-like voice. Nervousness led her to add the nonsense phrase “boop-boop-de-doop” to her songs, and she was nicknamed Betty Boop, a name later applied to a cartoon character that mimicked her style. (Beatrice Hofstein-Jacob).
