Lana Lamb

First animated in 1931, Lana Lamb's debut was in a Mama BoPeep cartoon. Playing off the nursery rhyme, these cartoons consisted of a group of sheep living in a rundown house with their care taker "Mama BoPeep" who played an old mother role.  In the cartoon "Fleeced Flapper Fame" Lana, bored of life in the old house, dreams of going to the city to sing at a jazz club.  Eventually see runs off and finds fame but soon misses her family. As BoPeep  and the other sheep go looking for the lost family member, they find posters of Lana. At first upset and ready to drag Lana back home, BoPeep changes her mood after hearing Lana sing at the jazz club.

Lana's appearance in this cartoon proved to be such a hit, that she became the highlight of the group and had more shorts centered on her and soon had her own series.  Today she lives in Burbank as an icon with her image on various merchandise and her old cartoons still shared online.
