| Jane Russell |
Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell (Jane Russell) was born June 21, 1921 in Bemidji, Minnesota. She is the only daughter and the eldest out of five children. Her first movie was The Outlaw(1943), When she moved to Southern California she was urged by her mother to take up piano and modeling, also drama and acting. In 1953, she stared in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) with Marilyn Monroe.
Now, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Is one of my Top Ten Favorite Movies of all time. It is a great movie and its a good family film. I watched the movie about three or four times and it never gets old. Jane Russell plays a show girl along with her friend Marilyn Monroe, who has a rich fiance. Did you guys ever herd of the saying "Diamonds are a girls best friend."?
That saying came from that movie and it is also a song. Very catchy I must say.
Jane Russell passed away February 28, 2011 of respiratory failure at her home in Santa Maria.
