She was a very popular WWII Pinup. Jane Russell was "discovered" by Howard Hughes while she was working as a receptionist in a dental office.
This picture is probably the most famous image of Russell. Hughes was pushing the envelope in 1943...we just weren't used to seeing movie posters like this one! It truly was a different time.
Jane Russell died peacefully, at home, surrounded by her family. She was 89.
