Biography
Helen Kane, born in 1904, sang with a coy charm that captured the flapper era, introducing audiences to the playful refrain “boop-oop-a-doop” and hits such as “I Wanna Be Loved by You.”
Her vivacity on Broadway and in early film left an enduring imprint, and she is remembered from her place of repose at Long Island National Cemetery as a trailblazing entertainer.
