Jane is going in for the carve of a turkey she most certainly did not prepare as she hated cooking. Wishing all those who celebrate it, a Happy Thanksgiving, and a mellow day for those who don’t. ❤️

Year of Jane Russell: Day 325

Jane had crippling anxiety going into Company, but persevered and it was a successful milestone. After a few months she grew bored with the repetition and never did another Broadway show.
