Facts about Jessica Rabbit
Jessica Rabbit Biography
Jessica Rabbit was the voluptuous cartoon femme fatale of the 1988 feature film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The popular comedy, a loose-limbed mix of live action and animation, was based loosely on Gary Wolf’s 1981 book Who Censored Roger Rabbit? Jessica Rabbit was the absurdly sexy wife of hapless hero Roger Rabbit, and a constant temptation to human detective Eddie Valiant. With mock innocence and more curves than Daytona, Jessica delivered the immortal line: “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.”
Jessica Rabbit also added spice to later Roger Rabbit cartoons as both she and Roger had an extended run in the 1990s.
