RIP Jane Russell

Another legend from Hollywood's golden era is gone. Jane Russell redefined Hollywood glamor and sexiness at a time when standards were much stricter.

Somehow, I thought she had passed earlier. RIP to a great star who brought a whole lot of men to full attention in her day!

Yes, she was something else.

All I can think about though is the line from "The Aviator" when Howard is showing the design he wants for Jane Russell's bra in "The Outlaw" (where the above picture is from):

Quote:
Glenn Odekirk: Howard, you really think they're gonna let you put out a whole movie just about t**s?

Howard Hughes: Sure. Who doesn't like t**s?

In that picture, she's oozing sex appeal while being mostly covered up. Not too many "sex symbols" today could do that.

For some reason, sex appeal today has become all about showing off skin. Give me a woman who can look good while wearing clothes, its not like I spend all my time with my lady naked.
