R.I.P. Jane Russell

I am so sad that yet another sexy star from the past is gone.  She died earlier today from a respiratory ailment at the age of 89.

 Even though her last movies were back in the 1960's, it's quite a testament to her, that she is still such a recognizable face.  That is - if you could keep your eyes focused on her face......lol. (After all, she was more well known for two of her other assets........)

Oh, Jane Russell, who else will be able to fill your shoes?

Betty Grable (& her million dollar legs)

While she was best known for being a pin-up star to the GI's of WWII (and red-blooded men everywhere, for that matter) - Betty Grable also did some fabulous little films.  Mother Wore Tights is one such gem.  The costumes in this film (and all her films for that matter) were some of the best of the era.

It doesn't come as any surprise that she was the top earning Hollywood star by the end of the Forties.  She had great charisma and of course, those million dollar legs.......
