This has been a really tough year, since September it’s been difficult for me to see movies. That's why I want to mention the TV show Booklyn Nine-Nine that literally saved my life. Hopefully 2023 brings better memories. Happy New Year to you all, love you ♥

“There is no obvious motive for Jane Russell’s charming churlishness on screen; it was often gratuitous, more than the script called for or than the director, I should think, would allow. It would seem, then, natural. But it wasn’t; according to her book, to her TV talk show appearances and to Arthur Bell, who had lunch with her, she was plain Jane in the best sense, a friendly foul-mouthed pious Christian. I can only theorize that she regarded the picture business as so shitty, as it were – and it arguably was and is – that she felt she should act accordingly.”
/ Deviant queer film critic Boyd McDonald (1925 - 1993) enthusing about one of his favourite subjects - surly and statuesque actress and singer Jane Russell - in his volume Cruising the Movies: A Sexual Guide to Oldies on TV (1985) /
Born on this day: mean, moody and magnificent leading lady of the forties and fifties (and Playtex cross-your-heart bra spokesmodel), Jane Russell (21 June 1921 - 28 February 2011). I particularly treasure Russell’s screen partnerships with film noir tough guy Robert Mitchum, who matched her for tough wry humour and impudence. (They were buddies offscreen: Mitchum called her “an authentic original”). If you only know Russell as Marilyn Monroe’s wisecracking pal in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), her filmography is studded with gems like His Kind of Woman (1951), Macao (1952) and her magnum opus, The Revolt of Mamie Stover (1956). But I even love her in lesser efforts like Hot Blood (1956) and The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown (1957) (and I’ve yet to see the intriguing-sounding The Las Vegas Story (1952) or Foxfire (1955)). Not that Russell herself was impressed. “I got little artistic satisfaction from my work,” she confessed in her 1985 autobiography. “I was definitely a victim of Hollywood typecasting.” Pictured: portrait of Russell by George Hurrell, 1946.
