JANE RUSSELL, the Hollywood actress and star of ‘Gentleman Prefer Blondes’ has died, aged 89.\n<\/p>\n

\nJANE RUSSELL, the American actress who was discovered by eccentric billionaire HOWARD HUGHES, has passed away at her home in California, reports BBC News.
\nRussell was cast by Hughes in his 1943 western movie ‘The Outlaw’ and she went on to star alongside BOB HOPE in the 1948 movie ‘The Paleface’ and then with MARILYN MONROE in the acclaimed ‘Gentleman Prefer Blondes’. Her daughter-in-law confirmed that she passed away at her home yesterday (28th February 2011) from a respiratory-related illness. She paid tribute to the stalwart actress, saying, “She always said I’m going to die in the saddle, I’m not going to sit at home and become an old woman. And that’s exactly what she did, she died in the saddle”. Despite becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1940s and 1950s, Russell’s career faded in the 1960s but she did appear in the Broadway musical ‘Company’ in 1971 as well as in numerous television commercials later in her career.\n<\/p>\n

\nJANE RUSSELL was married three times and adopted three children. After finding the process of adoption problematic, she founded the World Adoption International Agency and helped to organise the safe adoption of tens of thousands of children from overseas.\n<\/p>\n
