Here is the Telegraph article about her.

Thank you Sezit.

The news item which I have just watched mentions 3 marriages, struggle with alcoholism, a deeply held religious faith, and that she didn't take herself too seriously. I knew none of this until now.

El Loro has written about her in the Film/Movies Forum, here:-

Thanks for the link Brisket. I didn't know about that forum.

A grande dame of the film industry. RIP Jane

You're welcome Sezit. 

I agree with what you say about Jane Russell. She has lived through a great many changes in Hollywood. She's seen 'em come and seen 'em go.


In case others may not be aware of all the forums available on GaGaJoyJoy - if you hover over "forums" (top left of the page) a drop-down menu will appear. On that menu if you hover over "UK TV fans" a list of forums will open up.
Alternatively just click on UK TV Fans at the top of the page. 
Sadly many of those other forums are little used. 

She was always glamorous. I like this simple photograph of her. 

RIP Jane.

One of Jane Russell's best films was His Kind of Woman (1951). A film noir but with humour. It also starred Robert Mitchum. Vincent Price also stars in one of his earlier roles and gives a memorable performance. Well worth watching if you ever get the chance.

Jane Russell isn't for me sorry.......  Not a woman I would call particularly attractive.  JMO of course.

My dad always watched Jane Russell  films ......................I wonder why? 

Of course Cupcake. We can't all like the same people. I was reading threads earlier about different people/groups etc.... a lot are not for me either.none of us like the same people all the time.

RIP Jane.

RIP Jane xxx You can't beat  bit of old fashioned Hollywood glamour.

Sezit, I do apologise: I didn't realise that Jane had died yesterday.  I noticed the RIP stuff in here when I just read through the thread again.  I thought this was just a thread about her from someone who liked her. And I must admit that I thought she died some years ago ... RIP Jane.  xxx

It's OK Cupcake.

I agree Sezit that, while she wasn't one of the 'greats', she most certainly made an impact in the glitz and glam stakes.  I saw a photo of her earlier which was taken at the Oscars only 3 years ago and she was still as glamourous and beautiful as ever

R.I.P. Jane

Awww I think a legend has died today.  RIP Jane ...

Another one of the Hollywood Greats gone
R.I.P Jane

I think Jane has a look of Katherine Hepburn in that photo, although she was a lot better looking than Kate

r.i.p.   another one of the old greats gone  

Yes R.I.P Jane
