She was a beautiful woman. A class act! She lived her life as a woman and a lady. One of the few sex symbols to go out with class !

She was quite a woman! A no-nonsense lady, a star and a dedicated Christian.

Not many people are lucky enough to be born with class. She was obviously one of them! <3 r.i.p.

She became scary looking in her old age.

This video is to nice. I ever liked her.

I once saw her over 15 years ago here in my home city Duesseldorf / Germany opening our musical theater.

Also got her autograph in her program of the Berlin Film Festival were she was honored in the early 80th.

I was so shocked the day she died this year!

I have most of her movies in my arcive.

See Jane as we all remember her in "The French Line" preforming her song "I'm Looking For Trouble". WOW! :-) So sexy adorable!

I love Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe... (Yes, I've watched Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) Sigh!! Wish I met them in person. I'm not even from the U.S.

Talent, wit, class and charm. It probably would have been awesome just to sit down and "shoot the breeze" with her. R.I.P.

She can still put on a good show to be as old as she was
