In 1938, [[Margie Hines]] took over as the voice of Olive Oyl, starting with the cartoon ''Bulldozing the Bull''. Questel returned as her voice in 1944, starting with the cartoon ''The Anvil Chorus Girl''. Questel would remain so until after the [[King Features Syndicate]] made-for-TV ''Popeye'' shorts in 1960.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1998/01/11/mae-questel-actress-voice-of-betty-boop-olive-oyl/|title=Mae Questel, Actress, Voice Of Betty Boop, Olive Oyl|access-date=August 17, 2017|archive-date=August 17, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817162511/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-01-11/news/9801110077_1_boop-oop-a-doop-olive-oyl-voice-of-betty-boop|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="btva"/>

[[Marilyn Schreffler]] became the new voice of Olive when [[Hanna-Barbera]] obtained the rights to produce made-for-television ''Popeye'' cartoons for ''[[The All-New Popeye Hour]]'' in 1978. Schreffler also voiced Olive in ''[[Popeye and Son]]''. Questel was asked by Hanna-Barbera to reprise her role, but turned them down due to her busy work schedule.<ref name="Popeye Television">{{cite web|title=Popeye On Television: 1970-1990|last1=Korkis|first1=Jim|url=https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/popeye-on-television-1970-1990/|website=cartoonresearch.com|access-date=May 7, 2025|url-status=live}}</ref> Despite being replaced by Schreffler, Questel later returned to voice Olive Oyl for a 1983 commercial promoting the [[Popeye (video game)|''Popeye'' video game]].<ref>Taylor, James D.
