JANE RUSSELL

Jane Russell was an actress from the 1940s to the 1970s. She was discovered by Howard Hughes in 1941, and starred in The Outlaw, which was completed in 1941, but the movie was held up for five long years by censorship troubles. It is very sad that she lost those five years (which likely would have been very productive for her), and by the 1960s, roles for her were drying up, and she only made four movies in the 1960s, and two in 1970, at which point she stopped making any movies (although she did ads for Playtex bras in the 1970s!). Some of her other movies include: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, His Kind of Woman, The Paleface, Son of Paleface, and The Revolt of Mamie Stover. She passed away in 2011 at the age of 89.
