The woman in question was Helen Kane, who was called the "Boop-Doop Girl" and was Fleischer Studios' inspiration for Betty Boop.

Sounds like DC Comics characters. I'd totally read a comic about Boop-Doop Girl vs. Big Suit Man.

That headline is a work of art. I expect it's preserved in the Library of Congress for being culturally or historically significant.
