Heute ist der 101. Geburtstag der US-amerikanischen Schauspielerin † Jane Russell (eigentlich Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell). Geboren am 21. Juni 1921 in Bemidji, Minnesota und gestorben am 28. Februar 2011 in Santa Maria, Kalifornien. Auf dem Höhepunkt ihres Ruhms, Anfang der fünfziger Jahre, benannten amerikanische Soldaten zwei Bergkuppen nach Jane Russell: den Schauplatz einer Schlacht im Korea-Krieg. Bewiesen war damit endgültig, wie sehr sie die Phantasie ihrer männlichen Fans anregte.
