JANE RUSSELL MOVIE GODDESS

Here is a beautiful full length sequinned evening gown worn by Jane Russell in the film “The Revolt of Mamie Stover”. The film was made at 20th Century Fox studios in 1956.



Capturing the essence of one of the sexiest women to grace the silver screen, the gown was designed for ms Russell by Bill Travilla who designed for many of her films and for another film great Marilyn Monroe.




Russell in the film plays a Mississippi prostitute and later a war profiteer. The film was directed by Raoul Walsh.

Jane Russell has starred in many memorable roles including “The Outlaw” in 1943 and of course “Gentleman Prefer Blondes”. A great piece of Hollywood glamour from the 50's.
