Interesting history about the beautiful Jane Russell....Her very first screen test was filmed by none other than the eccentric genius Howard Hughes which lasted I believe two days and consisted of limited, if any-dialogue, and close up's of her chest as she reclined on a stack of hay bales wearing a very tight sweater with revealing cleavage.
Some more from the WSJ.

I was aware of the Howard Hughes connection. I imagine almost every young sailor or G.I. had a photo of her stuck on the wall during WWII.
