I adore the vintage comedy movie featuring vintage bombshells Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. Both women were so va-va-voooom pretty in this movie. It made me want to shimmy my hips a little more when I walk. Well, sort of.

Here are some photos of the beautiful Jane Russell who was a major sex symbol in the 1940s and 1950s. The infamous photo of her laying across the straw was a soldier favorite during the war. I mean, obviously, LOOK at her!

If you're curious (and I bet you are), Jane Russell's measurements are 38D-24-36. Talk about voluptuous! Producer Howard Hughes (producer of "The Outlaw" which propelled Jane Russell to sex symbol fame) said this: "There are two good reasons why men go to see her. Those are enough." Hmmm...Her captivating eyes, Mr. Hughes?
