Jessica Rabbit was a character in the 1988 live-action/animated comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The animation director 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 also added that the character was supposed to be the "ultimate male fantasy, drawn by a cartoonist."
