"The girl with the summer-hot lips and the winter-cold heart". "There are two good reasons why men go to see her. Those are enough" - Howard Hughes, quoted in Robert Hale's "The Humour of Sex"

"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" -Jane Russell on her co-star Marilyn Monroe

Myriam
yes, Myriam, Jane Russell was wonderful, I devour her movies with passion, she started as Howard Hughes' muse and then she continued a vibrant career!
ReplyDeleteIf you have watched "The Aviator" with Leo DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes there is an allusion to Jane Russell (and her breasts) in "The Outlaw", in fact Leonardo DiCaprio spent a day talking with Jane Russell about Hughes.
She died at 89, at least she lived a great life.
I hope you have a good week, Myriam!
