You should read her autobiography!

There's a bittersweet passage that I still remember to this day (it's been like 15+ years when I read it, so my memory may be a little hazy on the details).
Jane describes being holed up in a hotel(? iirc) room with Marilyn. She's admiring Marilyn's naked (or partially naked? I forget) body that's leaning against the balcony, and Jane compliments it. Marilyn goes all sad and quiet and says how she wishes she had Jane's humor and comedic talent so she wouldn't have to rely on her looks. And Jane basically laments how in the end, neither got what they wanted because Jane was seen as just the funny girl next to Marilyn.

Oof. That's poignant.

Huh. That seems weird to me, because Jane Russell was primarily famous for her looks as well-- in particularly, her spectacular rack. I'd say she and Marilyn were pretty much in the same boat.
