Living legend
Jane Russell is 88 today.

I was surprised to discover that despite Ms. Russell's sex symbol status as the
femme fatale of many a
film noir or as an alluring musical comedy star, she is openly and proudly a politically conservative Christian woman. She is, in particular, an outspoken advocate for life and for the rights of tiny unborn babies to not be horrifically tortured and murdered. In keeping with her concern for the welfare of children, Jane Russell also has supported and promoted adoption agencies for years and adopted three children of her own, none of whom has breathed any sort of "mommie dearest" rumors, so she is probably a pretty good mother to boot.
Jane shows her skills as a comedienne, holding her own with Bob Hope in
The Paleface and helping to introduce the Oscar-winning song "Buttons and Bows"...

...And matches wits with frequent co-star Robert Mitchum in the atmospheric exotic drama
Macao.

May the Lord continue to bless you and expand your territory, using you to bless others in turn. We'll meet in heaven some day!
