jane was pure sexy funny angel, far more gorgous than any modern so called model she had real sex appeal beuty and a figure untammered with by ant surgeon. i love her and wish i could have met her rip jane a one off,
I hated to hear of the passing of Miss Jane Russell. Jane was a beautiful, beautiful woman. They don't make 'em like that anymore!! Jane was at least 1000 times more beautiful than today's beauty queens. Jane was at least 1000 times more talented than Kim Kardashian for example. Plus Jane's beauty was all natural. That is more than I can say for Kim. Goodbye Jane. Your like we will never see again.
She was a symbol of WW2 that I will never forget. I remember a picture in which one of the service men pointed to her picture and said, "that's what we're fighting for." Many of the service men carried her picture or put them up on their planes, etc. Her curves were famous! I wish someone could put up her famous picture. A sad day and passing of an era. . .
Seems like the host was embarrassed to say, "Fuzzy pink nightgown." He sort of mumbled it! Beautiful woman, I'll always remember her, "Crosss your heart commercials!"
Jane's appearance reminds me of Sela Ward in this footage. Jane, of course, was a much bigger star in her days that Ward was in the 1990s, but I until I saw this I hadn't noticed the resemblance.
Bennett Cerf almost always came up with a left field question that gave away the celebrities identity. I firmly believe he always knew before hand who the guest was
Wow!! What a beauty and so at ease and confident in her manner. Jane Russell is a revelation to me. I'd heard of her but never was too aware of her persona. I'm really bowled over by her. She's very relaxed and self assured. Thanks for posting this.
Howard Hughes made Jane famous with a teasing titillating movie poster for The Outlaw. Poster was made a year before they even had a script. He insured her breasts with Lloyds of London and stipulated in her contract she could not drive in a car at a speed above 30 miles an hour for fear a sudden bump might cause her fanulous boobs to sag. LOL Sounds like sordid Hollywood legend but it's a fact.
She is indeed gorgeous, a true glamour girl...I totally adore her in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." (Of course, I adore Marilyn in that film as well, but I honestly think they each brought out the best in each other...)
And not only is she good-looking, she's got good brains, too!
Sometimes, there are no other words. Ms. Jane in cropped, black hair filling out a beautiful white dress. And when she smiles, bemused at the guesses from the panel- OMG!!
Arlene's mask is cracking me up...lol with those eyes and and the eye lashes. I know she has worn them in other episodes but this one is differently funny haha
Jane was always bright as a penny, took a very intellectual approach to her career. She was a big girl with sharp features who knew how to package herself to be a bigger than life beauty. She was incredibly versatile--she could do drama, comedy and musicals with equal facility. Marilyn Monroe, who costarred with her in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," adored her for her generosity, kindness and professionalism.
I loved the time there was another mystery guest and (I think) it was Bennett that queried, "Are you Jane Russell?" It wasn't and he explained (paraphrasing), I saw her and I thought her denials seemed rather false, whereby Dorothy quipped, "That's the ONLY thing about her that's false". That's one of my favorite moments. If it's posted I haven't run across it yet.
Summer 1957: in this period, Ernie Kovacs auditioned as the WML fourth panelist. Arlene Francis broke her foot. YouTube has two WML clips with Jane Russell and she is hysterically funny in both. Thanx for posting. Ah Jane. Va Va Va Voom.
What a stunningly beautiful woman
