Star of the Week: Rosalind Russell

Last week's star was Clark Gable. This weeks is one of the most underrated actresses of the Golden Age Rosalind Russell.

Real Name: Rosalind Russell
Born: June 4, 1907 in
    Waterbury, Connecticut
Died: November 28, 1976 (age 69)
Height: 5-8
Academy Award Nominations:
My Sister Eileen (1942)
Sister Kenny (1946)
Mourning Becomes Electra (1947)
Auntie Mame (1958)
Trademark: Wealthy, dignified ladylike roles

Rosalind Russell was a classy, talented actress who never got the recognition she deserved. She is best known for her role as Hildy Johnson in "His Girl Friday" and Mame Dennis in "Auntie Mame" though she starred in other roles. My favorite is His Girl Friday, where she and Cary Grant talked so fast they should have gotten tickets for speeding (haha ok stupid joke). Rosalind Russell died of breast cancer at age 69. RIP Roz.

Rosalind Russell is a treasure that should never be forgotten!

Notable Films: His Girl Friday, Auntie Mame, The Women, Gypsy
