10 Actors Who Did Not Take Credit For Big Movie Roles

Robert Zemeckis' 1988 film noir-comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit was not only a breakthrough for special effects (like much of the director's work, for better or worse), it also made people feel strangely comfortable ogling a buxom cartoon character.

There's a lot of trivia regarding the production of the film. The novel it was based upon, Who Censored Roger Rabbitt, is drastically different. In it, Roger and his cohorts are comic strip characters, and Roger is brutally murdered early on leaving only a word bubble behind as a clue. Rather, the script is derived from an un-produced sequel to Chinatown known only as Cloverleaf. Screenwriter Robert Towne initially intended the 1974 classic to be a trilogy focusing on the holy trinity of L.A. corruption - Water, the public transit system vs. the freeway, and finally oil; the last of which was made in 1990 as the Nicholson helmed-flop The Two Jakes.

Instead of Towne's gritty realization, they added cartoon characters. The most memorable to some was that of Roger's wife, Jessica.

Kathleen Turner, at the height of popularity, voiced the role as a favour to Zemeckis while she was nine months pregnant. No one knew until Turner revealed it on a radio show after the film's release.
