What actress is in the classic movie poster showing a brunette sprawled out on a barn floor?

Posted on March 8, 2010 by admin

May be a famous (1940′s or 50′s?) actress along the lines of Elizabeth Taylor. I believe she is on a pile of hay. Also, do you know the name of the movie?

Jane Russell. Gave Marylin and Jayne a run for their money. Even did bra commercials in her 60s.

    Just to add to the previous answer: the movie is The Outlaw (1943) directed by Howard Hughes (her "bosom" caused a lot of controversy–you’ll see that in Scorsese’s _The Aviator_)

    If you google "Jane Russell Outlaw," several images of her on the hay will come up.

    That was Jane Russell in her first movie for Howard Hughes called The Outlaw made in ’43 but not released for several years due to its controversial sexuality.
