Very few actors can claim to have the best of both looks and artistic talent and Jane Russell is certainly one amongst them. Blessed with a voluptuous figure, Russell was one of the leading actresses and sex symbols of the mid-20th century. She made the men go weak in their knees with her full-figured body and alluring and fascinating sex appeal. Having an affinity for drama and music, it was her mother who actually coaxed her to take a plunge into the world of acting. Cinema happened accidentally to her as she was spotted by Howard Hughes on a reality show. She went on to star as Hughes leading lady in his film, ‘The Outlaw’. The movie created quite a rage in the film industry due to her bold shots and skin show. Thereafter, she starred in several other movies - from comedy to thriller to drama. Her big break came with ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’, where she co-starred with Marilyn Monroe. The film was followed by a sequel, ‘Gentlemen Marry Brunettes’. Apart from her acting talent, Russell made her mark as a singer by giving voice to her musical aspirations. She sung various singles and also came up with a self-titled album.
