I'll always remember Jane Russell... I remember when I was little, I asked my dad who his favorite actress was... he replied, "Jane Russell... she's beautiful! I always thought so..."

RIP Jane, know that you were at least one boy's fantasy...

RIP Jane. You were a class act. Not only a wonderful actress, but a real movie star.

Badhorsie, thanks for posting that clip. I haven't seen it in ages. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is one of my very favorite movies from the 1950's. I used to sing and act out all the musical numbers when I was a kid.

Awww...Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend is one of my favorite movies. What a magnificent woman she was. RIP.
