 A
character so unpredictable as Bunny Tagliatti was needed to try, at this
beginning of 1989, to delight his heart. The
find of the writers : to make her a female Bunny !
Vanessa
DeFranco appears first of all as the granddaughter of the maffioso
dynasty to whom the Tagliattis has a debt. Mario, Bunny's uncle, so
obliges his nephew to marry Vanessa, a young rebel woman and eternal
single. Not interested either in the idea of an arranged marriage,
Vanessa agrees to run away with Bunny and takes refuge in the cellar of
the Lockridge villa where he lives. To evolve out of sight, she
disguises as a man and pretends to be Vance, Bunny's cousin. However she
falls very fast under Bunny's charm and kindness and tries to seduce
him. She does not moreover understand why this latter swears only by
Gina Timmons, whom she finds stupid and vulgar. After many efforts, she
finally succeeds in attracting Bunny in her bed.
While
one day Bunny is also disguised (in woman), he and Vanessa are surprised
kissing each other by Gina. Vanessa is forced to admit her real identity
and to leave the villa. But she is well decided not to leave Bunny
behind her. This latter however already gave up to the young woman,
always attracted by Gina and only Gina. With the help of her brothers,
Vanessa organizes a quick wedding ceremony during which she obliges
Bunny using force to participate. This latter goes as far as denying his
name and his belonging to the Tagliattis to escape her.
While
Gina is hired as a singer at Bunny's Lair, Vanessa discovers that she
uses a stand-in for her voice. To compromise her, she kidnaps the real
singer and lets Gina make a fool of herself in public. But in spite of
it, Bunny does not decide to fall in her arms.
Vanessa
seems then to give up definitively Bunny, because she disappears from
then on from the show without a farewell, taking with her her vitality
and her whim.
