Thank you! 🙂
The most beautiful American brunette ever. I have been in love with her since I saw her in TV in 'Double Dynamite' with Frank Sinatra and Groucho Marx 50 years ago.
She was so beautiful, smart, solid and elegant. Even Howard Hughes thought that she was. He was very attracted to her. She was the great friend of Robert mitchum, and these two made a great couple of cinema. I like the fact that she,later, took her distance with Hollywood. She was religious, far from the sodome & gomorre of the wrongly city named Los Angeles. Rip Madam.
A friend of mine was very good friends with Jane. He had nothing but praise for her and how nice she was. Very down to earth....
She was what she was, I have no doubt she was a good decent woman, as for serious acting skills I never saw anything to suggest she was overly talented, but she no doubt made more than a decent living, and a name that lives on. Bless her.
Jane Russell was the godmother of my friend Darby Hinton. She was godmother to his brother and his sister as well.
Great, I enjoyed this. I'm sad that hollywood shafted her, but she did not shack up to get ahead. It was not her styil. She is/ was a wonderful lady of that big one era. A time when Hollywood was hollywood.
Thanks Jaynie! 🙂
I always liked her as I saw her in movies when I was a kid in the 1950's.
I always loved and respected her it's nice to know what a great person 💟 she was
Should be more iconic than she is. A breath of down-to-earth reality in Hollywood, she also made life better for countless adopted children.
Agreed re Jane's talent. If she'd been able to work with a string of top directors, I believe she would have been one of (or one very close to) the A-list actors remembered in her era.
You Go Jane👊
Jane I believe went to my high school, van Nuys high. I know bob waterfield, her husband and hall of fame ram quarterback did.
Sophia Loren went thru the same typed casting, until Vittorio De Sicca cast her in "Two Women". I ask YOU Mr.Vintage, do you think our beloved Jane Russell, could have handled the lead in "Two Women?"
Honestly we will never know ... but I say she had it in her for some very heavy drama showing her feeling gutted from pain .
Jane sold tons of bras
Interesting and beautiful 😍 woman. I loved her eyes. It seems she would b from England 🇬🇧.
Gorgeous woman.
No way a feminist, Jane still showed a strong female example. She credited growing up with 4 brothers for making her fearless and 'non-vulnerable' to predatory men in real life and onscreen.
A fine example of how one doesn't need to be a feminist to be an amazing woman..... different times
Ah yes a “special bra” designed by a man. I can see why she didn’t wear it.
ikr...it's like a woman designing a jock strap.
@@highonimmi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always thought she had a strange shaped head 😅
It would be nice if time warner restored the 3d version of the french line for compatible blu ray 3D polaroid and anaglyph, but they won't. Her republican well so was Clark gable, Irene Dunn, jimmy Stewart, but in the past actor put their politics, even their families aside for their art. It came first. So everyone had to get along with each other in the business in order to make a living today they don't do that anymore that's why so many films are terrible. True dick Powell converted Regan to republican, but that was behind the camera. In front, no one talked about politics while they were working. Even John Wayne and Gregory peck had to get along with each other if they had ever worked in a film together. The actor today should do the same thing especially since many fans may not agree with their personal politics, but, love their art.
Why wasn't Jane Russell able to so her acting chops? Mostly why most 'sex symbols' are not able to show there acting chops. Producers/directors were only interested in girls like Russell to be sexy and barely anything else! Marilyn Monroe was a much better actress than her most of movies allowed to show. So was Sophia Loren-except in Two Women which she won the Oscar. So was Lana Turner (watch her in Peyton Place!). Alot of sexy actresses were required to ONLY be sexy. It's frustrating Im sure! Only Elizabeth Taylor was allowed to show her acting chops it seems. I wonder if it had anything to do with her starting out as a child star, and being allowed to show her talent throughout her career?
Her father was NOT a Left tenant in the US Army. We don't have left tenants and right tenants. He was a Lieutenant.
I’m assuming your comment is tongue in cheek. The narrator seems to be British. In the US we may say loo-tenant, in Britain it’s left-tenant. Even though the spelling is the same.
@@paulaprice493 If he's British then he must be speaking English, right? Where in the word Lieutenant is there an "F"? It's not like there is even a gh like in laugh or enough.
@@patrickfreeman8257 You’re right. No F anywhere. I don’t know why they pronounce it the way they do, but they do. I watch a lot of British shows and that’s what they do. It was that way in Canada too, but I don’t know if it’s changed in the last 50 years. And Australia.
@@paulaprice493 we invented the language, therefore we will speak it how we like. His pronunciation is correct for that part of England.
He never said that!!! I heard him say ' Lieutenant ' very clearly.
The editing is beyond sloppy
Am sorry but thats not a Christian lady.dont tell me that she didnt know why they told her to pick up what ever .she couldnt been that naive and saw what they mean. Plus this guy Howard Hughes. How many women did he dated. It sou d like he was not lucky at all women.he was a rich guy.and thats a Christian no i dont see it.
