21: Brisbane's Jane Russell
Manage episode 407165832 series 3558447
Howard Hughes named DOUBLE DYNAMITE (1951) after Jane Russell's breasts - and the city of Brisbane was obsessed with them. This week, the lost stories of Fr. Kiley, the Catholic priest who tried to ban a Jane Russell film from the Brisbane suburb of Coorparoo, and Shirley Vercoe, the woman who became known as "Brisbane's Jane Russell." On theme with the exploitation and harassment of large-breasted women in Hollywood, we also watched Soleil Moon Frye's stunning found-footage documentary KID 90 (2021). Plus, special tributes to the memory of Mira Bellwether and Lisa-Marie Presley - and we announce a new member of the SUDDENLY team.
