What a gal - one likes her Dorothy in GENTLMEN PREFER BLONDES just as much as Marilyn's Lorelei - and of course there is that number of hers with the Olympic team (choreographed by Jack Cole) "Ain't there anyone here for love?". Whether with Marilyn, Gable, Mitchum or Hope Jane was a swell gal. (Review of THE REVOLT OF MAMIE STOVER at Jane Russell link). She even plays "herself" in the 1964 FATE IS THE HUNTER. Nice to see she had a good innings since those heady '40s days of THE OUTLAW!
2,000 POSTS DONE!, so I am posting less frequently, but will still be adding news, comments and photos.. As archived, its a ramble through my movie watching, music and old magazine store and discussing People We Like [Loren, Monroe, Vitti, Romy Schneider, Lee Remick, Kay Kendall, Anouk & Dirk Bogarde, Delon, Belmondo, Jean Sorel, Belinda Lee; + Antonioni, Hitchcock, Wilder, Minnelli, Cukor, Joni Mitchell, David Hockney etc]. As Pauline Kael wrote: "Art, Trash and the Movies"!
Dedications: My four late friends Rory, Stan, Bryan, Jeff - shine on you crazy diamonds, they would have blogged too. Then theres Garry from Brisbane, Franco in Milan, Mike now in S.F. / my '60s-'80s gang: Ned & Joseph in Ireland; in England: Frank, Des, Guy, Clive, Joe & Joe, Ian, Ivan, Nick, David, Les, Stewart, the 3 Michaels / Catriona, Sally, Monica, Jean, Ella, Anne, Candie / and now: Daryl in N.Y., Jerry, John, Colin, Martin and Donal.

Jane Russell RIP
