Fuzzy Publicity
Year of Jane Russell: Day 314
Here’s Jane and Ralph Meeker having some fun in a Fuzzy Pink Nightgown publicity shot.
Favorite Film Role
Year of Jane Russell: Day 313
Fuzzy Pink Nightgown was not a hit at the box office, but Jane often cited it as her favorite film after Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Fuzzy Final Fifties Film
Year of Jane Russell: Day 312
Jane’s final film appearance of the 1950s, and the last film to be produced by her Russ-Field production company was The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown (1957). Here she is with co-stars Keenan Wynn and Ralph Meeker.
Alternate Cover Photo
Year of Jane Russell: Day 311
This stunning portrait of Jane was my first choice for the book cover, but I wasn’t able to get my hands on a high quality copy. I think it all worked out well in the end, though I still love this one.
Underwater Negative
Year of Jane Russell: Day 310
Dipping back into the amazing stash of 8×10” original negatives with this shot of Jane from around the time of Underwater! (exclamation point not mine).
Lounging Jane
Year of Jane Russell: Day 309
It’s Friday and I am tired, so here’s a fabulous photo of a lounging Jane to take us into the weekend.
Mamie Stover 3-Sheet
Year of Jane Russell: Day 308
While writing the JR book, I mainly purchased photo for potential inclusion. Occasionally, I’d grab a poster for a good price like this Mamie Stover 3-sheet, partially on display here at the book release event in June.
Mamie by Travilla
Year of Jane Russell: Day 307
For The Revolt of Mamie Stover Jane got to work with William Travilla again who did not disappoint with the wardrobe. This gown was designed with a grass skirt in mind.
A Good Film Shoot
Year of Jane Russell: Day 306
With Raoul Walsh as a director, Richard Egan as a costar, and the Hawaii location shoot, the filming of The Revolt of Mamie Stover was a positive experience for Jane.
Always About WAIF
Year of Jane Russell: Day 305
Jane’s WAIF organization was always a priority, so when she was in Hawaii filming Mamie Stover, she went about setting up a Hawaiian chapter, which eventually came to pass.
