THE HAT SQUAD: JANE RUSSELL

I went looking for a copy of those old Playtex Cross Your Heart Bra commercials in order to celebrate the memory of Jane Russell in Toobworld, but I think this League of Themselves appearance is more fitting.....




Ms. Russell contributed a few characters to the Toobworld registry, in shows like 'Hunter' and 'Death Valley Days', plus others in Skitlandia thanks to her work with Red Skelton. But her best known TV character would have been Rose Hollister (seen at the top) in the modern Western/prime-time soap 'The Yellow Rose'. The Yellow Rose Ranch was named after her by her brother Jeb Hollister......

As Red Skelton probably said on the episodes in which you appeared, "Good night and may God bless."

BCnU....
