Her kindness, humor, and love of astrology
As a young teen I met the then Mrs Waterfield and on occasions was invited to visit with her in her home in Orange County, California. She was always gracious and inviting, found my artwork of value, and engaged me in conversation on a range of topics. I was both aware that she had been an important star and that her husband, who I never met, was a famous football star and coach with the Rams. As neither much of a filmgoer nor particularly a football fan, I have no memory of being intimidated when in her company, just welcome and comfortable. Jane insisted we do my astrological chart and I can still remember her intensity while doing the math and her apparent depth of knowledge on the subject. This is admittedly not much of a "Hollywood" story... yet it occurred to me that it might do no harm to mention that (beyond her cinema life and fame) "Jane Russell" presented herself to a then 14 year old kid as a relaxedly welcoming and intelligent woman, and a tremendously kind and often broadly funny hostess to whose home I was always made to feel welcome, and of worth.
