Jane Russell Dies at 89.

Jane Russell, one of Hollywood’s most memorable sex symbols from the 1940s and 1950s who starred in films such as the The Outlaw and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, died today at her home in Santa Maria, Calif., of a respiratory illness, the Associated Press has confirmed. She was 89 years old.

The Minnesota-born actress was originally discovered by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes when he cast her in Outlaw, which rocketed her to overnight fame and caused controversy because of the cleavage she showed in the film. Over the years, Russell starred alongside a bevy of Hollywood stars, notably Frank Sinatra and Groucho Marx (1951′s Double Dynamite), Bob Hope (1948′s The Paleface), Clark Gable (1955′s The Tall Men), and Marilyn Monroe (1953′s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes).

While Russell’s career began to slow in the 1960s and her last film role came in 1970’s Darker Than Amber, she made a return to prominence in the 1970s, doing commercials for Playtex’s line of full-figured bras.

Today's first reference question, received via email:

Dearest,

I presume that we have not met neither have we communicated before firstly, my name is Mrs. Francisca Cyril I am the wife of late Mr. Kenneth Cyril My late husband Mr. Kenneth Cyril, was a business man, experience in crude oil and diamond trading based in Accra-Ghana and Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire, when he was alive, he was poisoned by his business associates on one of their business trips in France He died last Two months at the age of 53 after a brief illness in a private hospital Here in (Abidjan) Cote d' Ivoire, Could you believe that the tradition and custom of the town and Village where my late husband came from demands that any woman Who does not have a male child for the husband, that when ever the husband dies, all the properties including cash will be shared among the late husband brothers and the woman will be sent out of the husband house just like that. My dear, this is exactly what I am going through right now since last Two Months my husband died.

My late husband brothers has taken all the properties belonging to my late husband including bank account and as well sent me out of my Husband's house just because I do not have a male child for my late husband this is a waked tradition and believe. As am talking to you now, I and my only daughter are going through hell at the moment. Right now, I am having in my position all the vital documents relating to the sum of $10 million dollars which my late husband deposited with a bank, and he made all the vital Documents with my name as the next of kin before his death.

Please remember that I cannot make use of this fund here due to forces surrounding me at the moment.

As you know I am the next of kin to the deposit but my late husband made the beneficiary as foreign partner, but no name or contact of the beneficiary was mentioned by him during the time of deposit as he was still looking for partnership abroad before his untimely death. As of now I have the right to use any one I may choose as the beneficiary, this is why I contacted you as the beneficiary of the deposit.

Please have mercy at the poor widow like me and help me and my daughter out of this mess. I strongly believe that the only way I can secure this money for myself is to act fast now and lift this money overseas that is the main reason why I am contacting you for your assistance. Please, as soon as this fund is lifted into your country, you can go ahead and have 20% for your time and patience in helping me, while you will help me invest the balance in any business venture that will be profitable for both of us (You and I) Please if you are willing to help I am waiting for your urgent response.Please note that, I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always and I don't want them to know about this money.

Thanks

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Francisca Cyril

Lord knows, I find it very hard to tolerate mere males...

"Frequently, too, nature plays ghastly pranks on humans. Thus many of history’s—and the present’s—irresistible, beautiful women heartbreakers can’t tolerate mere males. They prefer women—homosexuals, like themselves."

So our water osmosis system had imploded and we've had to call in a repairman. Usually this results in something visually stimulating, or at the very least a fresh face to the scene . Not so today. The guy they've sent over looks like a refugee from a tenth grade camera club. I'm tempted to serve him milk and cookies along with a lecture him on the perils of visiting unknown offices full of strangers.
