The Outlaw

Look at this photo.



It’s actress, Jane Russell from her 1943 breakout film, “The Outlaw.” The film caused a real stir, for obvious reasons. In fact, inspired by Russell’s figure , Howard Hughes worked on a brassiere specifically for her. Yes, she has a “full figure.” Today, however, would she be an outlaw in Hollywood because of that curvy figure? Hmmm. If casting went on today for the film, would she get the role or someone who was closer to a size zero?


Still, there’s no denying her beauty and sex appeal. I think we all have a little Jane Russell “Outlaw” in all of us; how about you? Let’s be outlaws against the limited perceptions of what beauty looks like in our world.
