Jane Russell - RIP

[White Noise]

Gone at 89 but what a life and what a lady.

[GoldCoastWhite]

They don't make 'em like that any more !

[Peabody]

Another sad loss. If I remember correctly, did'nt she adopty two London kids in the fifties?.

[The Equalizer]

One of the all time classic beauties. And as Bob Hope said:

"the two and only Jane Russell" and "Culture is the ability to describe Jane Russell without moving your hands"

RIP

You knew where a 44 bus stops with her!!

Anywhere between London Bridge and Mitcham calling along Battersea Park Road and York Road, I presume! But you must admit, Dave, she could punch your ticket any time she fancied

How nice that within a few posts we reduce the loss of an actress to old men playing with themselves.

Well done chaps.

[GoldCoastWhite]

Just showing our appreciation in different ways LH  :019: Can't say I remember too many of her films but she was certainly a spectacular looking lady and I'm sure she'll both missed and well remembered in equal measure.

A bit like your well chosen words on the death of Pete Postlethwaite you sad old fart

[Peabody]

I presume CH, you mean a Woodbine?

[GoldCoastWhite]

Play nicely lads or you'll have to go and stand in the corner ! :handbags:

I remember her in two great films with Bob Hope: "Paleface" and "Son of Paleface" - these days the latter would have been called "Paleface 2" - but she came across as a bit too assertive for my taste. She was a contemporary of Marilyn Monroe and I preferred the more vulnerable Marilyn. Sad to read about her death though.

[Peabody]

There was a lot of choice in Hollywood stars back in the fifties and sixties. As well as Jane, there was Veronica Lake, Lauren Baclalle, Virginia Mayo, Jane Wyman, Donna Reed, June AllysonEven though Joan Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck were considered hot, they never appealled to me. I did like Susan Hayward though. Blimey, we were spoilt for choice way back then, and I have'nt even mentioned Lana Turner.
