Won't lie to you, but I knew her best from her Playtex commercials. From there learned she was a pretty major actress from back in the day.

Had some big boobs on her, so RIP Jane & your tata's.

She definitely had some awesome ta-ta's. No doubt about it.

To bastardize a line from Bob Hope, thanks for the mammaries, Jane.

Jane Russell was one of the hottest smokin' Hollywood babes of the 20th century.

Botoxed girlies of today, you're not even in the running.

Loved ya, Jane.
