Jane Russell, Hollywood Star, Dies at 89 in California
Jane Russell died at 89 from respiratory failure at her Santa Maria home after a long career that began with The Outlaw under Howard Hughes. The Bemidji, Minnesota native rose to fame as a sultry leading lady and pinup during World War II and later starred in The Paleface, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and several Westerns before fading from films in the 1960s. She remained active in church, charity work, and singing groups, and was remembered by family as dying “in the saddle.”
