In 1940, Russell was signed to a seven-year contract by film mogul Howard Hughes[3] and made her motion picture debut in The Outlaw (1943), a story about Billy the Kid that went to great lengths to showcase her voluptuous figure.

Although the movie was completed in 1941, it was released for a limited showing two years later. There were problems with the censorship of the production code over the way her ample cleavage was displayed.

When the movie was finally passed, it had a general release in 1946.

During that time, she was kept busy doing publicity and became known nationally. Contrary to countless incorrect reports in the media since the release of The Outlaw, Russell did not wear the specially designed underwire bra (the first of its kind[4]) that Howard Hughes constructed for the film.

Jane Russell's contemporaries were Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, and Rita Hayworth. She was one of the true beauties of the 1940's and 50's. A sex symbol.

She usually took the 'beauty with brains' roles and seemed to have a personal substance about her, which set her apart from the rest.
