Jane Russell has died
« on: March 01, 2011, 10:55 »
The BBC reports that:

Quote
Former Hollywood actress and sex symbol Jane Russell has died at the age of 89.

The brunette was discovered by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, who cast her in his 1943 Western The Outlaw.

Some of her most memorable films include the The Paleface (1948) with Bob Hope, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) with Marilyn Monroe.

She died on Monday at her home in California of a respiratory-related illness, her daughter-in-law confirmed.

Didn't they just. Didn't care that she was a lousy actress, the testosterone masked that completely. ;D
