A lot of cartoon history books credit Mae Questel as being the voice of Olive Oyl from the beginning of the series, but Wikipedia claims that someone named Bonnie Poe was Olive's original voice. Who was the first Olive?

Bonnie Poe first voiced Olive Oyl by using a brooklyn accent for the character in the earliest episodes. Mae Questel came later and created the voice everyone knows and recognizes.
