MINI BIO:
A rarity: not only a brunette sex symbol but one who became more fondly regarded by the public as time wore on. She looked as though she liked the cinema to be fun, and her sense of humor and acceptance of her own limited ability lifted more than one of her films. She was most enjoyable in her roles opposite Robert Mitchum and Bob Hope - two leading men to whom she obviously responded. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.
She was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures. Jane Russell's handprints and footprints were 'set in stone' at Grauman's Chinese Theater during imprint ceremony #104 on Jun 26, 1953. Russell was never nominated for an Academy Award.

By KC on Mar 4, 2020 From Classic MoviesWhen a film title ends in an exclamation point as Underwater! (1954) does, it communicates the expectation of spectacle over substance.
