I know there was one "Super Snooper" (1952) with Daffy Duck as a private investigator, but I believe the female duck suspect was supposed to refer to Gene Tierney. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, I think Jessica Rabbit had the hair thing going for her. <BR/><BR/>I'm just amazed at the references to her in popular culture at the time she was making films. The stars who had been around for a while, like Gable, I could understand. But she came out of nowhere and, had McDonald's been around, she would have become a Happy Meal overnight.Jacqueline T.

Confidential". As one of a number of prostitutes who dress like movie stars, she had the whole peek-a-boo hair thing going in her Lake style.<BR/><BR/>And if I'm not mistaken, I think Jessica Rabbit in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was also partially inspired by Veronica (again with the hair thing).<BR/><BR/>I also want to say that there were some nods to her in Looney Tunes, but I can't think of any offhand. Likely one of those shorts where Bugs either played a female rabbit or was enticed by one...Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.com
