Wow...I thought she had passed years ago. Any idea on her age?

Is she the blonde who "dated" Kennedy after Marilyn?

SGG - I thought she was dead too.

Ah, no. That would be Jayne Mansfield.

Jane Russell was a brunette for most of her life (she kinda went blonde-ish for the movie "The Revolt of Mamie Stover") and I'm pretty sure she was never anybody's mistress.

She was actually quite the do-gooder, and led the Hollywood Christian League, and did a lot of wonderful work with promoting adoptions.

DD is correct, she was definitely a class act... :wub:

such a beautiful confident woman! I don't know why but I never knew much about her personal life so thanks for sharing!

When watching the Oscars, I was floored to hear about the deaths of Jill Clayburgh and Dennis Hopper, during the last year! Loved them both.
