Description
Jane Russell. Drawing. Charcoal, ink, 42x29,7cm.

"These days I am a teetotal, mean-spirited, right-wing, narrow-minded, conservative Christian bigot, but not a racist", Jane Russell said in 2003. She died recently, 28th February, at the age of 89.

Her biggest hit was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), with Marilyn Monroe. When Monroe was told that she was not the star of the film, she answered: "Well whatever I am, I'm still the blonde."

In her movies Jane Russell gave that self-determined woman in a world dominated by men. She was strong, dangerous, a scarred soul though but always ready for payback. God bless her!
