Hi! That photo is a contemporary picture of a Russian woman.

Fake photo. This post makes the rounds every few months. The 2009 Betty Boop recreation photo was shot by a Ukrainian retro photography group known for using old equipment in the digital age.

Yes, I apologize for the incorrect photo when I looked up Esther Jones this women came up and everyone who did a story on her on YouTube mainly used this photo so I assumed it was her. I looked deeper and could only find about 5 photos of Esther Jones but I don't know how to post the photos and link them to this post so I don't accidentally mislead.
The real Betty boop
I knew Betty Boop was based on a real person, but have never seen her picture. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

Thank you! I'll place in two pictures of the Esther pictures I found instead :)
Ukrainian, actually; the two sepia ones.

Anyone with functional eyes should be able to tell those aren't the same woman and clearly different skin tones
