When a brunette bombshell goes red - Jane Russell in The Revolt of Mamie Stover, 1956



Have you ever heard of "The Revolt of Mamie Stover"? I sure hadn't. But I stumbled across this fabulous first image of its star, Jane Russell, and... wow! With that red wig and a wardrobe by Travilla, she out-drag-queens most drag-queens. So I scoured the internet and found more of the portraits taken to promote the film. The overblown Hollywood glamour of the Fifties, in lurid color. I had to do a lot of work to make them post-ready, but I think it was worth it; they sizzle!
