Betty Boop is an animated cartoon character appearing in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop series of films produced by Max Fleischer and released by Paramount Pictures. With her overt sexual appeal which was modeled after Mae West, Betty was a hit with theater-goers, and despite having been toned down in the mid-1930s, she remains popular today. She's voiced by Helen Kane.

Betty Boop was created by Max Fleischer so he would be the closest thing to "Dad" for Betty.  Helen Kane was her voice, she would be the closest thing to "Mom" for Betty.  Paramount Pictures is located in Hollywood, Ca so that could be considered Betty's "home town".

Betty did appear in a cartoon called "Minnie The Moocher".

Betty is at odds with her parents (who were not named) and opts to run away from home, only to get lost in a haunted cave with her boyfriend Bimbo. A ghostly walrus (rotoscoped from live-action footage of Calloway), sings Calloway's famous song "Minnie the Moocher", accompanied by several other ghosts and skeletons. This haunting performance sends the frightened Betty and Bimbo back to the safety of "home, sweet home". "Minnie the Moocher" was a huge success on two levels. It was a tremedous promotion for Calloway's subsequent stage appearances, and also established "Betty Boop" as a cartoon star.
