Auction History Result 9a448 JANE RUSSELL candid 8.25x10 still '46 live on stage in Frisco, incredible theater marquee! Date Sold 7/1/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) 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. Important Added Info: Somehow, we never heard about it before, but in 1946, right before "The Outlaw" was finally going to be released, five years after it was first made, Jane Russell appeared in person on stage for one week at the RKO Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco, California. This still shows the incredible front of that theater, which was showing the movie "Born to Kill", but you can hardly tell, because plastered all over the theater are giant images of sexy Jane Russell (banners, posters, etc). We don't know that even a single poster of any sort survives from this week of live performances! Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good. There are diagonal creases in the bottom right corner and a few faint creases scattered in the still. Learn More about condition grades
