Her career was launched in what is arguably the most notorious advertising campaign in cinema history, which invited filmgoers to see Howard Hughes's The Outlaw (1943) and to "tussle with Russell." Throughout the 1940s, she was nicknamed the "motionless picture actress" and had only three films in theaters. With such an inauspicious, slow start, most aspiring actresses would have given up or faded away. Instead, Russell carved out a place for herself in Hollywood and became a memorable and enduring star. In Mean . . . Moody . . . Magnificent!, Christina Rice offers the first biography of the actress and activist perhaps best known for her role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). Despite the fact that her movie career was stalled for nearly a decade, Russell's filmography is respectable. She worked with some of Hollywood's most talented directors-including Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Nicholas Ray, and Josef von Sternberg-and held her own alongside costars such as Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, Clark Gable, Vincent Price, and Bob Hope. She also learned how to fight back against Howard Hughes, her boss for over thirty-five years, and his marketing campaigns that exploited her physical appearance. Beyond the screen, Rice reveals Russell as a complex and confident woman. She explores the star's years as a spokeswoman for Playtex as well as her deep faith and secondary vocation as a Christian vocalist. Rice also discusses Russell's work in creating and leading the WAIF foundation, which helped unite tens of thousands of orphaned children with adoptive parents. This stunning first biography offers a fresh perspective on a star whose legacy endures not simply because she forged a notable film career, but because she effectively used her celebrity to benefit others"--]]></description><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7998101</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7998101</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rice, Christina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7998101075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Jane Russell and the Marketing of A Hollywood Legend</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780813181080/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Little Pony]]></title><description><![CDATA[Friends Forever contains fours tales of friendship and fun!
