<P> Jessica Rabbit is a fictional character in Who Censored Roger Rabbit? and its loose film adaptation, Who Framed Roger Rabbit . She is depicted as Roger's human toon wife in various Roger Rabbit media . Jessica is renowned as one of the most well - known sex symbols in animation . She is also well known for the quote: "I'm not bad . I'm just drawn that way ." </P> <P> Author Gary K. Wolf based Jessica primarily on the cartoon character Red from Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood . The film version of the character was inspired by various actresses . Richard Williams explained, "I tried to make her like Rita Hayworth; we took her hair from Veronica Lake, and Zemeckis kept saying,' What about the look Lauren Bacall had?"' He described that combination as an "ultimate male fantasy, drawn by a cartoonist ." Before Robert Zemeckis was brought on board as director, Jessica had a different design, and was to be voiced by Russi Taylor . Taylor would go on to provide the voice in test footage from 1981 . </P> <P> In the novel, Jessica was an immoral, up - and - coming star, and former comic character with whom her estranged husband (comic strip star Roger Rabbit) became obsessed . She is re-imagined in the film as a sultry, but moral, cartoon singer at a Los Angeles supper club called The Ink and Paint Club . She is one of several suspects in the framing of her husband, who is a famous cartoon star accused of murder . She is voiced by Kathleen Turner, who was uncredited for her role . Amy Irving was cast to sing "Why Don't You Do Right?" (a blues song made famous by Peggy Lee) for Jessica's first scene in the movie . According to animation director Richard Williams, other than being a beautiful female human toon temptress, she deeply loves her husband Roger . She even calls him her "honey - bunny" and "darling ." She claims that he makes her laugh, is a better lover than a driver and that he's "better than Goofy" after Roger attempts to save her from Judge Doom and the Toon Patrol . As proof of her love, she tells Eddie that she'll pay any price for Roger and she even helps prove him innocent by helping in the investigation . </P> <P> Even though she's a human Toon, she is shown to have a few of the comedic cartoon antics typical of other Toons . One such example was her cleavage having a hammerspace ability, as one of the weasels searched her (with obvious perverted intent) for Marvin Acme's last will and testament, only to comically get his hand caught in a bear trap, with Valiant commenting on the event with a pun ("Nice booby trap"). Another could be her restrained "wild take" (as she shouts, "Oh, my God, It's DIP!") seeing Judge Doom's scheme involving the Dip, while a subtle effect was added by animator Russell Hall: The bounce of Jessica's bosom was reversed from that of a real woman so that it would bounce up when a real woman's breasts bounce down and vice versa . Furthermore, when she blows kisses (as seen to Eddie in one scene) the lip - kisses are also done in a cartoonish style . </P>
