    Thank you for posting this news. Ms. Russell was a gorgeous woman and a gifted comedic actress.

    After she stopped appearing in movies, she devoted her energies to an organization (CASA) that helps find safe homes for abused or neglected children. (The abbreviation "CASA" stands for "Court Appointed Special Advocates.")

    I wish I could find the link, but I'm sure if you google "Jane Russell CASA" you'll be able to find more information.

    My point in posting is that she not only achieved success in her career, but she used her fame to help others--helpless children. Of course, she will be greatly missed.

    One of the unexpected stories I heard yesterday was this one: Monroe said Russell tried to get her to read the bible and she tried to get Russell to read Freud.

    A radiant star from a far more glamourous and civilised age. She was beautiful.
