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
