Well, as these images, obviously are not Jim's interpretation, any icons I make from any of these would most likely not be available for your use in this forum.  But if I make any, I can PM them to you for use in other places.

No problem.  It might be a few days though, as well, my brain isn't really on icon making at the moment.

I remember her having long flowing red hair and green eyes, but I could be wrong.

Well I got bored, so I made an avatar based off of this image, you can use it here once you get more then 100 posts, by using an off-site avatar and hosting the image somewhere else.

Great icon!  However, I think we're trying to keep avatars at a uniform 100x100.  It's by no means compulsory, but you might want to adjust it.  *goes off to browse Amy Brown's art*

Personally, I've always pictured a non-toon version of Jessica Rabbit.

And if you like Amy Brown, you might like:

100*100 version. (*Grumbles about whether 2 pixels really matter*)

@mickey (impressively mutters in latin)Google images search, you mean like this

I wouldn't have bothered searchin, but since I had no idea who Jessica Rabbit was curiosity got the best of me. Isn't she a loony toons character or something?

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is a technically-marvelous film blending animated, ink-and-paint cartoon characters and flesh-and-blood live actors, in a convincing comedy/mystery noir thriller, set in Los Angeles in 1947. Earlier efforts to combine humans and ink-and-paint cartoon characters side-by-side in a film [Disney's Song of the South and Mary Poppins, for example] are considered primitive next to this film.

The film is a delightful spoof of the hard-boiled Sam Spade films and reminiscent of the recent Chinatown (1974), (complete with a sultry, femme fatale humanoid Toon named Jessica Rabbit (Jessica Turner, uncredited, with singing voice by Amy Irving, executive producer Steven Spielberg's wife at the time), and a case involving alleged marital infidelity ("pattycake"), murder, a missing will, blackmail, and a conspiracy....

It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble.

The film was a milestone in animation history, one of the top-grossing films of its year, and it received four Academy Awards, one of which was a Special Achievement Award for Animation Direction (Richard Williams). Director Robert Zemeckis must be credited for piecing together the production that involved hundreds of animators, and the special visual effects of George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, Amblin Entertainment, Walt Disney and other studios. As a result, it was the most expensive film of its decade, at $70 million.

It was filmed as a tribute to the entire pantheon of cartoon characters from Disney, Warner Bros., and MGM, and other studios in the 1940s. Famous cartoon voices were used (Mel Blanc for Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, and Porky Pig and Charles Fleischer for Roger, Greasy, Psycho, and Benny the Cab), and the live-action characters were coordinated with cartoon characters - the animations were drawn and inserted after the live photography was shot. Its revolutionary animation: (1) used light and shadows in new ways to produce remarkably realistic, 3-D effects; (2) extensively panned and moved the camera to reduce a static look; and (3) had the car'toon' characters interact flawlessly with real-world objects and flesh-and-blood people as much as possible.

The title of the film was derived from the plot: "Who framed (the cartoon character) Roger Rabbit" for a murder. It was also derived by screenwriters Jeffrey Price and Peter Seaman from the title of Gary Wolf's 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? - an allegorical tale with comic-book and newspaper strip characters who spoke with word ballons instead of voices. In a less sanitized version, Wolf's novel portrayed Hollywood's Golden Age 1940s car-"Toon" characters as minority contract workers subjugated by the animation studios' system of apartheid. The down-and-out, underpaid fantasy-toon players must live in a segregated ghetto named "Toontown" as victims of human bigotry. The sub-human, exploited, underpaid and oppressed creatures were monitored there and kept under control.

Although Wolf's book had a lot of the same-named characters (with their basic character traits), there were significant differences between it and the film: (1) the book had comic strip actors, not cartoon actors, who were photographed - in action - to produce comic strips, (2) Roger Rabbit, a popular toon comic strip star, was found mysteriously murdered in his Hollywood home, (3) the book had a complicated, plot twisting, noirish atmosphere, (4) Jessica Rabbit was a much cruder character who traded sexual favors for what she wanted, and (5) when the 'Toons spoke, they made word balloons that could be physically manipulated. Wolf's 1991 sequel book to the film (not to his previous book) was titled Who P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?: A Hare-Raising Mystery. In this book, Roger hired Eddie Valiant to investigate whether his sexy wife Jessica was having an affair with Clark Gable, one of Roger's rivals (another rival is Baby Herman) for the lead role of Rhett in the musical comedy version of Gone With the Wind. Gable also hired Eddie to find out who had been planting tabloid stories about him being gay.

I think maybe not QUITE as much up top in "real life," however. A more streamlined hourglass, sensuality in the other features, like the line of the neck and shoulders, for instance.

There's a cover of a magazine with...damn, I forgot her name...posing like a 1940's starlet that's perfect. I'll see if I can find it in the unpacking (may take awhile.)
