- Jane Russell was a dear close friend of mine. When I went to her with the idea of starting my own TV show I asked her if she would do my first interview to bring to Time Warner Cable TV. Jane said of course for you honey anything. She did and this is the first interview that put me on TV with "Set The Record Straight"
He's not an interviewer. He's an interrogator. She deserved more respect. However, that amazing lady can hold her own. Love Jane!
Surprisingly.... Ron & Jane were the closest & best of friends in Jane's latter-years. She would spend the night at his home & Ron would spend the night at Jane's home... & that went-on for years! They were 100% platonic of course. She was quite a talent! God rest her soul.
I agree. He wants to be the subject but I like his enthusiasm
Jane R. Was splendid
Sometimes when everyone kisses your *ss you like someone who doesn't.
I felt he was extremely disrespectful.🤮🤮🤮..And on top of it all, calls Marilyn a 'Weak Pigeon'...🤮🤮🤮🤮
What a wonderful woman Jane was.. she had many admirable qualities, she was beautiful both inside and outside. The guy interviewing her did not deserve the opportunity he got to know her and to sit down and talk with Jane, he resorts to asking mainly lurid unsavoury questions to Jane..a true cinematic icon. God bless you lovely lady
Now in 2021 I am watching son of Paleface and Paleface and laughing so much. Partner from another country so its new for him to see these old movies and lives them. I grew up watching the old movies and appreciate them so much today.
Jane Russell had class plus. The interviewer is hopeless and rude to this lady.
Jane was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood and she seemed so fun to be around. Real and honest.
I love this lady...Such a down to earth beautiful soul...She always had religion in her life to keep her grounded...much respect for Jane...
Poor Jane she handled this interview with class and professionalism. How many times did he mentioned or asked about Marilyn Monroe? Seriously.
That flaming queen interviewer was so annoying.
BooJanJing I'm a fan of Marilyn, and kinda disappointed in this dude for bringing up Marilyns name more than necessary, plus dissing Marilyn...ugh can he have any less class
He comes off as a jerk
That's okay Jane Russell lived out her life she lived many more years than Marilyn Monroe she had a wonderful life Marilyn Monroe bless her soul but she was involved and was manipulated with by all men.
Thrice Marilyn Monroe wed. I'm Betsy's fourth. Cynthia is fifth, baby of the family born "APRIL FOOLS!"---day 1959 Don't know what day... Marilyn Monroe sold Royal Triton, 1950, by very fondly nicknaming it, her very first car, CYNTHIA!
She takes on everything he throws at her like a champ. I would've slapped him five minutes into the interview.
I love this comment 🤣🤣
She was so sweet and beautiful! God bless her in heaven!
Get ff the subject of boobs. She’s much more than that. What an insulting boob. No pun intended 😂
I absolutely love Jane Russell and always have. She was so gorgeous. Why did all those gals have such a hard life. They were so much better than today's "stars".
Kevin Handy That is very true!
She didn’t a hard life she had a great life . Wonderful Woman .
@@brookegoslin Jane had alot of heartache & alcohol issues for a number of years. Thank God she overcame all that in her latter-years & lived happy & free until her death.
Mostly true... but the acting is different because the era is different. It’s in no way “better”.
Because in those days only harvey weinsteins ruled hollywood and had the pass to do whatever they wanted.
This interview was aggressive, impolite and rough around the edges. But if anyone could handle this kind of person it’s Jane Russell. What a great woman ❤
Horrible interviewer !! Unbelievable stupidity
Jane is a classy smart babe...i fell in love with her when i was about 7 watching her up on the silver screen God bless what a Angel..
Jane was a class-act! A real pro.
"What size bra were you at 19?"
If thats not bad enough, it goes downhill.
Awful man...I cant believe he gets guests, I would have walked out, after throwing water at him
@@ceciliem1811 lol....
She's such an amazing interesting lady and a sister in the Lord.
Much fun to watch this inerview of a great lady and talented actress. Thanks for posting!
His questions could not have been any worst! Jane, should have slapped him! She is and will always be a respected ICONIC ACTRESS! Classy lady wiith the most style!! 👍💎👍
Damn, she was spectacular!!
How CHEAP is the mind of this man.
As cheap as bill Clinton's
@@lishamarlar4597 As cheap as donnie trump.
Another airheaded swishy gay man !!
Whoa, the abortion question was not a very nice thing to bring up for her. She had that look on her face like she didn't want to go there....
God doesn't make accidents or mistakes, Jane your a national treasure.❤️
She's a special kind of personality. Ron Russell, NOT her son, is the worst possible interviewer. Terrible - should be tossed out of the business. Whatever his business is.
I agree!! 😒
She is a doll in this!! Adorable, witty and funny!
"It could have been Jane Payne!" LOL!
Jane is simply FABULOUS!!!
Jane Russell is so awesome❤
Tough lady love her♡Thanks Jane for being so kind exspecially to Marilyn♡
Jane Russell is so incredibly beautiful. It's all in the structure of her face and in the beautiful shape of her body.
Award for worst interviewer goes to him. Award for most classy lady goes to her.
I'll never watch another interview by this man again.
Saying Marilyn was a weak pigeon how dare he. She may have been fragile and vulnerable at times. But how dare he mistake her for weak. She was a strong ass women and put up with a lot.
Ditto
This interviewer is awful.
He isn't that bad actually
I know Ron Russell. Been to a couple of parties where he's been in. I am surprised that there are a few interviewers that are flamboyant and awful at interviewing and no less about their subject, than I know.
Loved this interview! Such a beautiful soul. I have a new show starting so I'll have to watch every one of your videos.
I always loved Jane what a knock out
Jane was the classiest most drop dead gorgeous broad to ever grace Hollywood
Interesting interview. I did not realize that she had a problem with drinking. I like the friendliness of the sesson, like 2 old friends talking.
They were friends…..so that why he was so casual w her.
We are lucky to have this interview because of him. We are lucky to have her talking about backroom abortions….so that we keep them from coming back! Kudos to her. Im sure it wasn’t easy for her to talk about, but she is helping many people here.
Jane should have asked him how 'large' the interviewer was at 19. She had more class than that. He was AWFUL!
this man is not a good interviewer he doesn't give her time to gather her thoughts and he,s quite rude.
In all fairness, I wonder if you could have done better. This was his first show.
He is very rude!
Elizabeth Portillo
I understand why you would say that but, If you listen to the entire interview, you shall hear him talking about their friendship. They are, IMO, bantering back and forth and teasing each other. He mentions that she was his house guest. They seem to be good friends who tease each other a lot. Also, times were much different when this interview was filmed. Just sayin'. :)
Heartbeat214 hes a twat
John Jacob Astor
LOL, okay. :)
P.S. You should never have boarded the Titanic.
She seems to have a great memory, though we wouldnt know if what she is saying is totally accurate. I bet she was a hoot to know at any age.
I LOVE JANE RUSSEL....BRING BACK OLD HOLLYWOOD
I totally agree! But I don't think anyone has class anymore. Don't think they know what the word means sadly!
I absolutely love her 💜
She a tough old broad lol but that's why I like her she tells it like it is
i cant beleive how lovely she looks even though she is in her late eighties i would have liked to sit on the couch with her and watch some of her movies with her she has led an interesting life
He is really irritating.
He is a horrible interviewer. He have no sensor. He aired all of her dirty laundry and yet he called himself her friend.
Sincere Johnson he had to make the interview sparkle Jane was extremely reluctant to speak up about herself
Always had a Crush on Jane Russell, Ever since I saw her, In a Movie, I was about 13 yrs Old Back then, & Always enjoyed watching all of her Movies, May she RIP & Is Sadly missed, by all of her Fans
Jane Russell is a saint for tolerating this fool.
God he is a truly terrible interviewer! He should remember that none of us are really interested in his opinions, our interests are in his guests.
Jane was one of the hottest looking women in Hollywood, she had it all.
THE INTERVIEWER IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I HATE WHEN INTERVIEWERS TAKE ON "WE FRIENDS ON THE BLOCK" MENTALITY, EVEN IF YOU DO DEVELOP A RAPPORT WHEN THE PERSON YOU'RE INTERVIEWING...
I disagree. I think he is asking probing questions no other interviewer would or could ask and it is quite funny and authentic.
U CANT BE FUNNY WHEN ASKING ABOUT HER ABORTION STUPID
That interviewer is such a queen.
He's a swishy shallow Jewish Queen !!
Jane is the most relaxed and at ease here than I’ve ever seen her before in any other interview. Great interview!!
Jane Russell Is my aunt! Well, My grandmothers aunt, But still, Pretty much my aunt
5SThomas sure
Well, you come from good stock! Bless you!! 👍🎬👍
Grandmother’s sister? If so it’s called “Great Aunt”
@Saul Goodman always nice to meet family
Thank you for a peek into a legend. Wow, Hollywood
Jane Russell is the epitome of a beautiful woman...
TY Ron for sharing Jane Russell
What a great interview, I disagree with other opinions this man is a very good interviewer. He keeps up the pace. She is astounding here.
This was a very interesting interview and both parties seem very relaxed
she's late because she hears that locker room talk and it makes her anxious so she drags her feet coming out. When she has a friend for her to get her she's on time and feels fine
Given the choice between the phony dark brown choppy looking wig and Jane Russell's more natural looking soft grey curls I think the grey curls really look the best.
God. This guy.
She looks beautiful with her grey hair....wearing a wig is disrespectful to her legacy.
Linda Kordich i agree
I am SO ANGRY AND SAD that you subjected Legend Jane Russell to this PATHETIC and condescending interview. How sexist and degrading. Have some respect!
My biggest dream was to be able to meet Jane Russell...
Class. Lovely. Sweet.
I don't appreciate the disrespect to ms.monroe!especially coming from the interviewer!yes it was her movie.jane was very good in it too but marilyn was the focus!
what a wonderful lady
I remember seeing Jane all around Sedona. Loved the bar she had there. I'm still in Sedona.
Love Jane Russell bad interviewer she tells you what she believes like it or not sorry she's gone we have great movies to remember I loved her in the Tall Man she was great!
She had such a great memory in her 80's .. I'm 26 and my memory is bad .. 🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ 🤦♀️
This lady is one of the most beautiful actress I've ever met in 2005.
Wonderful jane russell
Jane Russell was a fine performer and bone-fide beauty of her time... And in spite of her conservative politics and religious conviction, by all accounts she took everyone she met as an individual and based her opinion thusly. That said, as regards 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,' Monroe was THE "talk of Hollywood" before the film went into production, with thousands of fan letters pouring into the studio weekly. And her 1952 Life magazine cover, her first, which also precedes shooting of this film, states as much. "GPB' would be her breakout role and Jane certainly provided the box-office anchor that the studio felt the film would need considering MM had not carried a film as a lead before. BUT -- Monroe was not a co-star as Mr. Russell incorrectly states here. She and Russel shared equal marquee billing, which is a matter of historical fact. Indeed, Marilyn's incredible popularity with the American moviegoing public did a great deal to boost Jane's own career fortunes, which were beginning to flag at the time. I am hardly a Marilyn Monroe fanatic, but Ron Russell denigrates Marilyn's star power simply to build Jane up. Ms. Russell does not need the assistance -- she was a great star -- and thankfully Jane is having none if it in this interview. The on-screen chemistry between JR and MM is authentic and absolutely carries the film. You like and care about the characters. Both stars benefited tremendously from that film.
A 36B did she say? If only.
What a fun interview.
Thank you for posting.
Спасибо за это драгоценное интервью с легендой Голливуда и коллегой Мэрилин Монро, Джейн Рассел. Как прекрасно Джейн передала голос Мэрилин Монро, какие же они обе хорошие девочки. Царствие небесное обеим Мэрилин и Джейн! Спасибо им за их блеск и шик, за настоящую красоту и полную отдачу души на сцене, в кино. Какая энергетика, какие фигуры шикарные, нет этих безобразно сделанных губ и сисек, по крайней мере в молодости обе красотки и ничего лишнего, Джейн сохранила свою харизму до последних дней. Браво! Вечная память обеим! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish he'd let her speak!
Its such a shame, cause there are several times she wants so elaborate (ex. when she says she was depressed for 5 y.), but he wount let her. Bad journalism indeed.
+Jenny Montenegro I've read about her, but not extensively. What was really interesting - and you can access this (maybe on UA-cam) on the Internet was that she and Rhonda Fleming and another lady formed a singing group. - It was spiritually based, and her being saved allowed her to not only to be forgiven for her abortion, but to be able to go out and speak frankly about it, and speak out against abortion. That's what their songs were focused on. Anyway, you can see them sing and dance. And Jane didn't go glamorous. She looked like an average woman: no makeup pretty much. - It was a happy time for her. ...I couldn't stand this interviewer, he was too familiar with her too. Calling her "Sweetheart" or whatever. Still, I'm sure she'd seen and heard it all. She didn't seem to take offense. - Anyway, I didn't watch the whole interview. He annoyed me too much. Too bad older actresses like her weren't given parts. She was flashy and fun and smart as a whip. What personality she would have lent to a film or television role. RIP, I bet she's where she was happiest. With Jesus.
Such a great woman. She should not have agreed to do this interview with such an idiot. He makes me cringe.
This guy is s horrible presumptuous non-professional interviewer. Poor Jane: she was very accommodating. Totally:-/
Holy crap the ads at the beginning is absolutely horrifying
This man needs to learn how to interview with someone = 21:40-21:48 damn.
This interviewer is so disrespectful to Ms Russell, a legend- I would have walked out! I couldn’t finish watching it
That DMK cosmetics ad...was like a parody😂😂😂😂
I forgot women talked like that in ads.
I think she could pass as Marilyn Monroe at that age.
Pepe Cabrera I thought the same thing! Spooky, huh?
:)
OMG I can’t believe Jane wasn’t dunked in the pool on purpose! I think that scene is soo legendary! What a lucky mistake! See- you always learn something new! 🏊♀️
I thought it was on purpose too, because otherwise they would have reshot it. She also looked fantastic just coming out of the pool, so never would have thought that wasn't what they meant to do, despite it looking like she got knocked in.
Please come back!!! I miss you !🧔🏻♂️💞👸🏻👏🏼🥰🙌🏻😘
I love you, Jane!
Wonderful Jane, tall and elegant as always, a real movie star. This interviewer is far too rude for a star like Jane, we all know what he is talking about, he doesnt need to be so graphic
From what i gathered in a couple of interviews I just saw for the first time by accident- about this woman , it appears that this person named Jane Russell was a born again Christian who probably went through many trials, especially towards the end. But my spirit felt that her soul's Salvation was held fast by the Lord Jesus Christ and that she is- very likely right now in the Lord's presence in her soul existence awaiting the great resurrection of the last Day. Because that work of Salvation that God begins in us His true servants- He Himself finishes and completes- even unto the Day of Jesus Christ our Lord and God. So i believe that Jane Russell was a child of God, and No one is able to snatch Christ Jesus's sheep from His hands, because God purchased us with His own blood on the cruel Cross at Calvary. Blessed be the Name of The LORD! :-)
Thump your bible elsewhere
GOD is light and in him is no darkness at all. Merry Merry Christmas everyone and a blessed New Year to us all peace and good will towards all of mankind.
calm down.
89 and still naturally beautiful, all these bloated puffer fish faces in Hollywood take note!
He’s a disrospective gay interviewer Marilyn Monroe was not a little weak bird He should find another career😂
Wonderful lady ❤️
Loved Jane, hate the other Russell. He was so insensitive and needlessly bringing up sad events in her life.
What a star!
She’s got to be one of the most beautiful women ever!!! When she was younger she was prettier than Marilyn!! Marilyn was gorgeous but Jane Russel wow!!
The interviewer seems like he's dong a bad Tony Curtis impression all the way through.
The guy is horrible. He missed a great opportunity by not asking appropriate questions to someone who was actually there!! He wasted too much time in asking about other people and her bra. Jane had a very long and successful career. Many of her colleagues were already gone when this interview took place. She had personal insight to a time we don't. You had one job dude and you messed up!! Now, when gentlemen prefer blondes came out; jane was already famous. By that time she had been in the business over 10 years. Monroe was just getting started.
he's talking more instead of letting Jane speak
This interviewer won't be satisfied even if Jane says she was gangbanged by the stage hands before her scene in every picture. Is that enough drama? If not , I'm sure we can throw in something else.
she was fun and still a kid inside no matter how old she got. I seen her at a benefit and she got up and rapped and sang and just acted silly.
She was something else.
Jane Russell was alway absolutely beautiful to me!! Men preferred Jane Russell!
haha . I don't know to many people that got of the booze at 79.😆
36B? I'm sure she obviously knows what bra size she was but her bust looked much bigger in all her films. Anyway, I love her 😍
Sizes were different then and tbh most of a womens shape comes from bone structure but people are boob obsessed so they put it down to that
