Russell wasn't all that busty but she is remembered for that area because of Howard Hughes. Hughes, one of the richest men in the world, and a man of great engineering ability, designed a bra especially for Russell (she was then appearing in a movie that Hughes was producing).

Many years later (in the '70s?) Russell did commercials for a bra.


I didn't know that!! I guess back then they "padded/lifted" to appear bustier instead of surgery. The women during that time too were not expected to be skinny rails. In fact they were heavy in many cases, at least compared to the pinups/models in more recent times. smile

If this is not all that busty to you then te salut, Don SC. tongue

TIS I think for a lot of different reasons rather unrealistic and unhealthy images started to become too predominant sometime between the late sixties and early nineties. Of course a lot of those images are aimed at women. The images aimed at men still tend to be a bit more realistic..in some ways, not all. whistle shhh

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
