America Loses A True Beauty-Jane Russell Dies
Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell (June 21, 1921 – February 28, 2011[2]) was an American film actress and was one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols in the 1940s and 1950s.
Russell moved from the Midwest to California, where she had her first film role in 1943 with The Outlaw. In 1947, Russell delved into music before returning to films. After starring in multiple films in the 1950s, Russell again returned to music while completing several other films in the 1960s. She starred in over 20 films throughout her career. Russell married three times and adopted several children and, in 1955, founded the World Adoption International Fund. For her achievements in film, she received several accolades including having her hand and foot prints immortalized in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theater and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She died at her home in Santa Maria, California of a respiratory-related illness on February 28, 2011.

I'm a little young to remember her in movies, but I liked those Playtex Cross-Your-Heart bra commercials she did when I was a kid. Va va voom!

Like CJ her movies were a little before my time. But I certainly remember the bra commercials.

Trivia - Howard Hughes invented the underwire bra for Jane Russell for the movie 'The Outlaw'. The design was based on his knowledge of supporting cantilever wings on aircraft.

I was a young boy seeing her in the movies but she stirred my imagination. That's not all she stirred.
