My Take
Jane Russell carries the glamour of old Hollywood that I find irresistible. Born in Minnesota in 1921, a sex symbol of the 1940s and 50s across more than twenty films, she could easily be remembered for looks alone. But what holds my attention is the blend of charisma and genuine seriousness behind that silhouette, the sense of a woman who owned the screen on her own terms. Her Walk of Fame star and Berlinale Camera confirm a long-earned affection. She passed in 2011, and I doubt we will see her kind of commanding presence again.
