Is there a better 1980's icon than Jessica Rabbit? She may not have been real, but she was the true star of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' and remains a popular costume for fancy dress parties to this day. Jessica Rabbit needed both a voice and a body to be based on, and that came from Kathleen Turner.
Pretty much all of the 80s were great for Turner. She broke into the mainstream by smoldering on the screen in 1981's 'Body Heat,' and then playing across from Michael Douglas in 'Romancing the Stone.' 1984's 'Crimes of Passion' was another entry in a similar vein. Basically, if you wanted a sex symbol for your 1980s movie, you called Kathleen Turner. She was good at what she did, too - she ended the decade with an Oscar nomination and two Golden Globes.
