    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.
