Dolores is a waitress and Eddie Valiant's girlfriend in the 1988 Disney/Touchstone hybrid feature film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
She was portrayed by Joanna Cassidy.
==Role in the film==
Dolores first appears serving a few barflies at the Ink & Paint Club, with Eddie being one of them, though she stops him from taking a sip of his drink when she reminds him that her boss checks the books on Fridays, and if she doesn't get back the money she loaned Eddie before her boss notices the difference, she could lose her job. Eddie shows her he already has half of it, but she's still livid to know where the rest is. Then he asks about borrowing her camera as his is in the shop, but she scornfully believes Eddie's is in the pawn shop, until he convinces her that he needs it if she wants the other half of what he owes her to save her job. Convinced and calming down, she hands it over, mentioning the roll inside hasn't been developed since their trip to Catalina Island, so there should still be a few exposures left for Eddie to use for his assignment. She notices when he loses his composure after one of the barflies, Angelo, makes fun of him, believing he works for toons, and storms out afterwards following telling off Angelo. She is quick to garner the barflies' sympathy for him once she reveals the truth behind his hatred of toons to them, explaining that his brother, Teddy, was killed by one by having a piano dropped on his head. She apparently cares for him and even helps him when the latter explains about Judge Doom and the Toon Patrol, who are all after Roger Rabbit because he supposedly murdered Marvin Acme. To that end, she offers a secret room used back in prohibition days at the Terminal Bar as a place for Roger to lay low until the heat's off. She also seems to know about his will, as she warns Eddie of how Cloverleaf Industries had placed the highest bid for Toontown and will acquire it at midnight if Acme's will fails to show up by then when Toontown will be put up on the auction block.
She plays a larger part in the film's climax, where she saves Eddie from almost being killed by Judge Doom and the Toon Patrol when they come for Roger at the bar by providing a drink that causes him to erupt like a high-pitched steam whistle so Eddie could fight off the Toon Patrol and rescue him. She armed herself with a bat in case things escalate further. For her part in the bar fight and damage ensued by it, she presumably got fired as a result, which was fine for her because she admits, "Stuffing olives for a living wasn't for me anyway." Following the climactic battle at the Acme Factory that saw Judge Doom's death, she arrives with Benny the Cab, Lt. Santino, and the LAPD, where Eddie proves Roger was innocent of murdering Acme, while Doom was guilty of murdering him, R.K. Maroon, and Teddy, along with the attempted murder of everyone in Toontown.
She is last seen walking beside Eddie as they, along with Roger and Jessica, enter Toontown together while accompanied by all the other toons in the film singing "Smile Darn Ya Smile".
