The photo in the beginning is a shot from The Outlaw. 1943. Howard Hughes the director of the film became obsessed with Jane’s bust, and went so far as to design a custom bra for her. But according to Jane, he just wanted to do something that was seamless, so that under her clothes it didn’t look like she was wearing a bra. Declaring it “ridiculous,” she threw Hughes’ garment across her trailer and padded her own bra with tissues, creating the same seamless effect his flimsy invention intended. Hughes was none the wiser, and Russell’s assets brought the film under scrutiny from the Production Code Administration, citing that “the girl’s breasts are shockingly emphasized.” Playtex was the first to advertise undergarments on national television in 1955, written by Howard Shavelson at Olgilvie and Mather, and the first to show a woman wearing only a bra from the waist-up in a commercial in 1977. @vintagehollywoodstars #janerussell #jane #bra #bras #brassiere #1980s #howardhughes #girdles #girdle #vintagehollywood #oldhollywood #brunette #commercials #tvcommercial”. @VintageHollywoodStarsoriginal sound - Vintage Hollywood Stars.
