Olive Oyl

Our Daily Grace!!! 

October 15, 1912 – On this day, Bonnie Poe was born and the world was graced. 

Bonnie Poe was an American actress and voice artist, best known for providing the voice for the character Olive Oyl in that studio's series of Popeye cartoons. 

Olive was something of a coy flapper whose extremely thin build lent itself well to the fashions of the time; her long black hair was usually rolled in a neat bun, like her mother's. She is the youngest sibling of Castor Oyl and Crude Oyl. Olive and Popeye actually hated each other when they first met (her first words to him were "Take your hooks offa me or I'll lay ya in a scupper"); they fought bitterly—and hilariously—for weeks until finally realizing that they had feelings for each other. 

In celebration of the Bonnie Poe, Amazing Grace is transformed as Olive Oyl.
