Gentlemen may prefer blondes, but if it’s true they marry brunettes, there was a time when every American man would have proposed to Jane Russell. Howard Hughes made one of the wisest moves of his storied career when he cast the voluptuous actress in 1943’s The Outlaw, causing a stir among young men—and movie censors desperate to temper down her sultry side. Other films made even more transparent attempts to capitalize on Russell’s assets, but it was in Gentlemen, starring alongside Marilyn Monroe as the sharp-witted Dorothy Shaw, that Russell secured her place as a timeless beauty.
