In this episode of the All Things Marilyn Podcast, we interview Christina Rice, author of “Mean…Moody…Magnificent! Jane Russell and the Making of a Hollywood Legend.”

We had a wonderful time chatting with Christina about all things Jane. 

• How she was discovered by Howard Hughes and Howard Hawks.
• Facts about her role in and publicity for The Outlaw.
• Why she was known as, "The Motionless Picture Actress."
• The true life parallels between Marilyn Monroe and Jane.
• Jane's relationship with Marilyn, both on and off the set of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
• Their cement ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
• The impact Marilyn and Jane had on each other's careers.
• WAIF, a private agency that actress founded in the 1950s to promote the adoption of children.

Tune in for a fascinating conversation about the life and career of Jane Russell, (AKA "Dorothy Shaw,")  Marilyn’s co-star in the ultimate girl buddy film, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
