Biography

Arlette Thomas apprend son métier aux côtés de Raymond Devos, chez Henri Rolland. Elle fait ses débuts au cinéma à la Libération dans Le Pays sans étoile de Georges Lacombe. Elle joue par la suite de nombreuses pièces et participe également à des dramatiques et émissions radiophoniques à succès comme Les Maîtres du mystère ou La Tribune de l'Histoire sur France Inter.

Au cinéma, elle joue notamment dans Les Grandes Manœuvres (1955) et Tanguy (2000), mais c'est à la télévision qu'elle doit ses rôles les plus marquants : Les Cinq Dernières Minutes (1958), Le Chevalier de Maison Rouge (1962), dans Pot-Bouille (1972) ou encore dans Nans le berger (1974).

Elle commence à travailler dans le doublage grâce à Jean Grémillon à la fin des années 1960. Elle devient ainsi, entre autres, la voix française de Titi le canari (Tweety Bird) ou encore de Calimero. Elle double alors Shirley MacLaine dans la plupart de ses films mais aussi Kim Hunter dans les trois premiers films de la saga La Planète des singes, Marion Ross dans Happy Days ou encore Renee Taylor dans Une nounou d'enfer. Elle a également supervisé de nombreuses séries en tant que directrice artistique. En 2010, un accident vasculaire cérébral la contraint à cesser ses activités.

Elle a dirigé le théâtre Présent (désormais théâtre Paris-Villette), situé dans les anciennes halles de la Villette à la porte de Pantin durant 15 ans. Elle a été conseillère municipale à Florimont-Gaumier en Dordogne.

Rex disrupts the other toys blowing soap bubbles, worried they may ruin Bonnie's house. He is chastised by the other toys, with Mr. Potato Head calling him "Partypooper Rex". The other toys sense Bonnie approaching, and scatter, leaving Rex alone when she enters. She takes him to play with while she takes a bath. Rex enjoys being played with along with the other bath toys, but soon Bonnie's mom comes to turn off the bath and take her out. Once alone, the bath toys wish they could continue to have fun, but all of them lack arms and can only function if afloat in the water. Rex initially thinks drawing a new bath is a bad idea, but recalling Mr. Potato Head's insult, he asserts that he is "Partysaurus Rex", and helps the bath toys to start a new bath.

In 1947, cartoon characters are commonly referred to as "toons" and most work as paid actors in Hollywood. They frequently interact with humans and animals, and dwell in the animated district of Toontown, owned by businessman Marvin Acme. Amongst the toon stars is Roger Rabbit, who does comedy shorts with Baby Herman, but as of late his performances are poor. Meanwhile, R.K. Maroon, Roger’s employer and head of Maroon Studios, hires private detective Eddie Valiant to investigate rumors that Roger’s wife Jessica Rabbit is having an extramarital affair. Eddie himself is an alcoholic, following the murder of his brother Teddy at the hands of a toon. Going to the Ink & Paint Club, Eddie at first believes that Jessica is a rabbit (due to her last name), but surprised when he sees that she's a very attractive woman. He later attempts and manages to snap photographs of Marvin Acme playing patty cake with Jessica, showing them to Maroon and a distraught Roger who vows he and his wife will be happy, before running off.
