In Memoriam...


Jane Russell (June 21, 1921 - February 28, 2011) was a Hollywood actress and sex symbol in the 1940s and 1950s. She was born in Minnesota, the oldest of five children (and the only daughter). Her family moved to Burbank in 1930 and Russell made her way to Hollywood. She got into modeling, but then decided to study drama with Max Reinhardt's Theatrical Workshop.
