Probably unknown to most of the good people here, Jane Russell died yesterday at age 89.
Jane was less known for her acting talent than for her outstanding curves, which made her a Dream Girl easily rivalling Marilyn Monroe in the fifties.
However, she sunk into limbo following her voluntary retirement from Hollywood in the sixties.
Her best known, though hardly best feature was the Howard Hughes (yes, that Howard Hughes) directed The Outlaw in 1943.
Due to Hughes fixation on Jane's breasts (and who can blame him!), most of the shots she was in, and indeed the film poster proper, focused pretty exclusively on those assets. In fact, in the deranged and compulsive manner Hughes at that time was already known for, he even designed a specific aerodynamic bra for the 19 year old Jane, insisting her breasts could only be properly filmed that way (she never wore it as it was immensely uncomfortable, but never had the heart to tell Hughes. To his dying day he thought she wore it, whilst she actually just used her trusted old bra, stuffed with kleenex to make it less 'jiggly').
It's probably no surprise that the film was held up for two years in several censorship suits, and became known in post-War, newly puritan America as 'that Sex Western'.
Jane never was classified as a 'classic' Hollywood beauty. Her looks were, according to some, too hard.
I agree that her features were strong and -at times- even quite stern
But I always rather liked that.

Don't think I've seen any of her films, but I knew about her, of course - especially as Monroe's friend and a 50's sex icon.I am extremely serious. -

Same here bro, his Alfred character was one of the reasons I loved the movies, he brought charm and warmth to that role.
RIP Mr Gough.
And I don't believe I've seen him act anywhere else."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I can only remember him as Alfred! But as Tim says, he has been in loads of things over the years. Not a big star but a shining example of an actor who underpins the acting profession.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

This reminds me, I've never seen her perform in any film. She was from before my time.

Very very sad.
And so young. Well, relatively anyway. With Fay Wray only a few years gone, Liz should have been good for another decade or so. She always did seem so full of fire, even in advancing years. I thought she'd never die.
And she truly was one of the most beautiful women in the world[/url].

The image I will always remember of Elizabeth Taylor is from the wonderful cover of Varese's release of Alex North's Cleopatra:

Just checked it on IMDB. So I saw her in one not so legendary role then."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

To me, the first thing that springs to mind - beyond the whole diva/celebrity thing - is WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINA WOOLF, brilliant role and tense dynamic with real-life partner Richard Burton.
Embarassingly, I've never seen CLEOPATRA (only bits and pieces of it).I am extremely serious. -

Did you know 'Carry On Cleo' used some of the sets? It's probably why that film looks a little more lavish than most of them.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I vaguely remember that little fact.
Unfortunately my recollections of Liz Taylor in Cleopatra are now tainted by Amanda Barrie.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn
