De acordo com o Made in America de Bill Bryson (pág. 295):
The longest credits yet - for Who Framed Roger Rabbit - lasted six and a half minutes and saluted 763 creative artists, technicians, and other contributors - without mentioning Kathleen Turner, the voice of Jessica Rabbit, who opted not to be credit.
Não sei por que ela optaria por isso, mas algumas reflexões:
1 - Kathleen Turner se lembra do filme com carinho em um entrevista com Nathan Rabin de Random Roles, o que faz com que pareça improvável que ela tenha um problema em associar seu nome ao filme.
2 - A falta de crédito pode ter mais a ver com o fato de que ela estava grávida de nove meses ao fazer a voz de Jessica, sua filha nascendo no último dia de gravação. Pode não ter sido algo que ela estava preocupada na época.
3 - Além de ter um bebê e construir uma casa em 1987, entre 1987 e 1988, ela esteve em 4 filmes e um documentário. É possível que houvesse problemas contratuais que a impediram de ser creditada.
4 - Porque ela ficou impressionada com as realizações criativas de outras pessoas no filme, ela pode não ter pensado que sua contribuição é digna de nota.
5 - Em uma lista de 763 nomes, quem notaria?
Trecho da entrevista:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)—“Jessica Rabbit”
KT: Ooooh. Bob Zemeckis, what an extraordinary feat, matching animation and live film. Nobody had done that before. That was just a remarkable process. They kept sending me tapes of how it was going along, and how they were shooting a scene with Bob Hoskins and this sort of metal frame that was Jessica, that would be drawn over in later stages in the process. And then right up to when we had to start doing the breathing of the character, because it’s one thing to do lips and face, but the whole body is the breath, so [I had to] go in and do all the breathing so they could finish the body, and then go back to do the face. It was a fascinating process.
AVC: It was a technological breakthrough, but did you suspect she would become this widespread figure of lust?
KT: [Laughs.] I’m sort of amazed. Half the photos I get autograph requests for are Jessica. [Laughs.]
AVC: How much of you was in that character?
KT: Oh, to me, it was just fun. I was just seeing what I could do with that voice.
AVC: Do you see Jessica as another parody of the femme fatale?
KT: No. I believe she was sincerely in love with the rabbit. They had a good marriage.
AVC: There’s that famous line, “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.”
KT: Well, yes, that was just too fun to pass up.
