She was considered one of the sexiest females of Classic Hollywood.
I guess she knew how to...do that!
- [on her Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) co-star Marilyn Monroe] She once got her life so balled up that the studio hired a full-time secretary maid for her. So Marilyn soon got the secretary as balled up as she was, and she ended up waiting on the secretary, instead of vice-versa.
The two stars became friends, with Russell describing Monroe as "very shy and very sweet and far more intelligent than people gave her credit for". She later recalled that Monroe showed her dedication by rehearsing her dance routines each evening after most of the crew had left, but she arrived habitually late on set for filming. Realizing that Monroe remained in her dressing room due to stage fright, and that Hawks(the director) was growing impatient with her tardiness, Russell started escorting her to the set.

- I will always remember the number Jane Russell did in the gym with all those scantily-clad men in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".
The audience probably didn't know that number was put together by a gay man or that his boyfriend was one of the swimmers in the scene.

- She wasn't that into the gays, OP/picture poster
- Gimme facts R34 or that thing you implied never was real
- If you can track this down, you'll see her face (and silence) when Cousins' brings up her status as a gay icon.

- Silence means a lot, not necessarily denial...
- Of course it's subjective, but I was left in doubt that Ms Russell did not embrace being a gay icon.
- Maybe she felt a kind of embarrassment. That's not denial exactly. Ok, she was a Republican, but i don't think that an actress can feel annoyed by other people's sexuality. Maybe she felt a bit uncomfortable about her own sexuality, actresses are vain you know...
- *bump!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Her musical The French Line was originally supposed to star Fred Astaire and Dolores Gray.
Mary%21%20McCarty
- Mary, really? I didn't know that hon, honestly.
Keep on talkin' sweetie, i like you
- Who replaced Fred in The French Line?
- Why hasn't anyone mentioned Jane's lesbian tendencies?
- Too bad she left her horrible drunkenness (mostly) to become a Krazy Kristian.
- Perhaps it was to squelch her urge to pick-up lovely young things.
Jane was not a fundie, she belonged to some off-the-beaten-path church. She didn't like that Pat Robertson crap. Also, she was an old-school Republican, not like the crazies around today.
- R43 i guess it was Gilbert Roland.
