Ms Russell was part of my family, too. She was and is my sister in Christ. We will see here again, There.

She was a beautiful woman and grew more so as she aged.

What an interesting family you have.

Ms Russell was from a more plain-spoken time, a resource badly needed but in seriously short supply these days.

There was a sad period when Jane was something of a tabloid fixture and it was difficult for people to accept the fact that she was the Christian she said she was.

When they questioned my mother about how someone calling herself a Christian could be engaging in such un-Christian behavior, mother just said, "Imagine what she'd be like without the Lord."

You were very lucky to rub elbows with such a class act. Her legacy will long endure.

Jane, may you RIP.

What a great story. It comports with everything I’ve read about Jane Russel. What a grand lady. Dear God, can we have just one more like her in the world?

This Classic Movie fan enjoyed that. Thanks

May I include she had more talent in her little pinkie than most of today's actresses have in their whole bodies. In fact few of today's actresses would have even made it past a 1947 casting call at Paramount or RKO.

Amazing, I loved your godmother’s appearances on tv shows and documentaries. Especially when she would talk with Robert Mitchum. Both of the them down to earth.

Katharine Hepburn once yelled at Michael Jackson to take his sunglasses off his face when he was in her living room. I imagine Aunt Jane was a very similar type,lol!

All film buffs are mourning the passing of a great, Hollywood doll!

Thanks for posting such a great tribute. I miss our great, classy, true movie stars of the past - beauty, grace and character was what they exuded. Not to mention a sense of humor about life and themselves.

RIP, Jane. Until we meet again....

That is an amazing story, but then, you always have amazing stories. Thank you for sharing this one with us.

Also, Deb, in this celebrity stricken culture of ours thank you for reminding us that celebrities are just people with the same frailties, problems, Moms who read their press clippings and nieces and God-daughters who look up to them that we all have.

May She rest in peace.

TS
