Kathleen Turner was in labour recording Jessica Rabbit

Actress Kathleen Turner went into labour while she was recording the sexy voice of animated character Jessica Rabbit for 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
The movie veteran, who had shot to fame with the steamy erotic thriller Body Heat in 1981, was heavily pregnant with her daughter Rachel back in October, 1987 as she headed to work on director Robert Zemeckis’ popular live-action/animated fantasy, and she ended up giving birth hours later.
“The day my water broke, I was recording Jessica Rabbit, waddling in and out (of the recording studio)!” she laughed on breakfast show Good Morning America.
The role is one Kathleen, who is known for her deep, husky voice, is still approached about by fans, who like to recite Jessica Rabbit’s catchphrase to her: “I’m not bad. I’m just drawn that way.”
Kathleen also recalled her memories of working alongside her Romancing the Stone co-star Michael Douglas, who she found herself falling for on set, and Jack Nicholson, who played her love interest in Prizzi’s Honor.
However, the actress reveals Jack didn’t enjoy shooting one of their sex scenes: “I called it, ‘Who’s on top?’ (because) we would roll (on the bed) over and over again (for the scene),” she shared.
“I didn’t realise that Jack evidently had a bad back, and so by the 10th time, we went off the bed, (and) he said, ‘That’s it! I’m done!’ But I’m guessing we had it (nailed the footage), so (it worked out).”
Kathleen’s soaring career suffered a setback in the early 1990s after she was diagnosed with autoimmune disorder rheumatoid arthritis, which left her in serious pain and led her to turn to alcohol as an escape from the illness.
The weight gain brought on by her health struggles caused a change in the star’s slender appearance, and after accepting her fuller figure, she decided to confront the issue in public by taking on a part in 2014 comedy Dumb and Dumber To, in which she portrayed the ex-girlfriend of Jeff Daniels’ character, whose looks have long since faded.
“(I wanted to send a message) that I had changed, and aged, and my body was not (like it was in) Body Heat anymore, and get over it!” the 64 year old explained.
