Legendary GI Pin-up Jane Russel Dies at 89



She gave the lads over-seas something to dream about, that's for sure.  What a beautiful lady.  Here's a link to a very good article about her.

  1. She was so, Odie. Read the whole article and apparently she was a real class act, kept to her Christian roots right 'til the end.

  2. Miz Russel was one of my earliest heart-throbs, mainly coz I wanted to be Just Like Dad. ;-)

  3. She gave a few teen aged boys in the '50s something to dream about too. I confess, I wuz one of them. I liked Katy Juardo (from High Noon, etc.) who died in 2002, also. Both beautiful, sultry ladies. I thought Marilyn Monoroe was great but in a softer kind of way. Both of these brunettes were harder, edgier to me, and thus, from a personal perspective, more beautiful.
