Jane Russell – The French Line – 1954
Capturing the essence of 1950s glamour, Jane Russell dazzles in a vintage one-piece bikini with elegant cutouts in the 1954 movie “The French Line.” The film centers on Mary ‘Mame’ Carson, a wealthy oil heiress who, frustrated by the men only interested in her fortune, assumes a disguise during a cruise to France to find someone who loves her for herself.
Jane’s performance in this film breaks conventional expectations of female leads during her era. During a pivotal swimsuit scene, Jane poses playfully for the camera, her smile radiating as much as her swimsuit. She looks absolutely stunning, her swimwear accentuating her famed curves and vibrant persona.
