Trivia
Jane Fonda studied up on Russell's life in order to play an alcoholic, once promising actress in "The Morning After" (1986)

Her brother, George Russell, who was five years older than Gail, became a musician.

A talented artist, she starting sketching at the age of 5 and later grew into a respectable oil painter.

Gail attended Van Nuys High School and was in some of the same classes as actress Jane Russell.

Suffered paralyzing stage fright during the filming of "The Uninvited" and suffered a nervous breakdown following its completion. In the role of Stella, the song "Stella by Starlight," which came from the film, is forever associated with Gail.

Her blue-eyed, dark beauty was frequently compared to Hedy Lamarr throughout much of her career.

Personal quotes
"I was possessed with an agonizing kind of self-consciousness where I felt my insides tightening into a knot, where my face and hands grew clammy, where I couldn't open my mouth, where I felt impelled to turn and run if I had to meet new people. When my parents had guests, I would run, get under the piano and hide there."

"Everything happened so fast. I was a sad character. I was sad because of myself. I didn't have any self-confidence. I didn't believe I had any talent. I didn't know how to have fun. I was afraid. I don't exactly know of what - of life, I guess.

Mini Biography
Gail Russell was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 21, 1924. She remained in the Windy City, going to school until her parents moved to California when she was 14. She was an above average student in school and upon graduation from Santa Monica High School was signed by Paramount Studios. Because of her rare beauty, Gail was to be groomed to be one of Paramount's top stars. She was very shy with virtually no acting experience to speak of, but her beauty was so apparent that the studio figured they could work with her on the acting by way of an acting coach that Paramount employed. Gail's first film came when she was 19 years old when she had a small role as Virginia Lowry in HENRY ALDRICH GETS GLAMOUR in 1943. It was her only role that year, but it was a start. Hopefully others would soon follow. The following year she appeared in another motion picture, albeit another insignificant role in THE UNINVITED with Ray Milland. (It was also the first time Gail used alcohol to steady her nerves on the set. This would come back to haunt her). It was a horror story very well done for its day. The film was a profitable one for the studio. The third time was the charm as Gail co-starred with Diana Lynn in OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY (1944) that same year. The film was based on popular book of the time and the film was even more popular. In 1945, Gail appeared in SALTY O'ROUKE, a story about crooked gamblers involved in horse racing. Although she wasn't a standout in the film, Gail worked well as part of the supporting cast. Later that year, Gail appeared in THE UNSEEN, a story about a haunted house starring Joel McCrea. Gail played Elizabeth Howard, a governess of the house in question. The film turned a profit, but was not the hit that executives hoped for. In 1946, Gail was again teamed with Diana Lynn for a sequel to OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY, in OUR HEARTS WERE GROWING UP. The plot centered around two young college girls getting involved with bootleggers. Unfortunately, the film was not anywhere the caliber of the first film. It failed at the box-office. With CALCUTTA in 1947, Gail bounced back in a more popular film which starred Alan Ladd. Most critics felt that Gail was miscast in this epic drama. That same year Gail was cast with John Wayne and Harry Carey, Sr. in ANGEL AND THE BADMAN. The western was a popular one with the public and Gail shined in the role of Penelope Worth. Still later, Gail appeared in Paramount's all-star musical called VARIETY GIRL. The critics roasted the film, while the public turned out in droves to ensure its success at the box-office. After the releases of SONG OF INDIA, EL PASO, and CAPTAIN CHINA in 1949, Gail married Guy Madison, one of the up and coming actors in Hollywood. After THE LAWLESS in 1950, Paramount decided against renewing her contract because Gail's drinking problems. She had been convicted of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. The studio didn't want its name mired with someone who couldn't control their drinking. The film roles were coming in slowly now. After AIR CADET in 1951, her only film that year, she disappeared from movie sets for the next five years while she attempted to get control of her life. She divorced Madison in 1954. In 1956, Gail returned to the silver screen in SEVEN MEN FROM NOW. It was a Western with Gail being cast in the minor role of Annie Greer. In 1957, Gail was fourth billed in THE TATTERED DRESS, a film which also starred Jeanne Crain and Jeff Chandler. She, obviously, felt better about getting a better role, but the following year she had a reduced part in NO PLACE TO LAND. By now the demons of alcohol had her in its grasp. She was again absent from the screen until 1961's THE SILENT CALL. It was her last film. On August 26, 1961, Gail was found dead in her small studio apartment in Los Angeles, California. Death was attributed to an alcohol induced heart attack. She was only 36 years old. Had it not been for the alcohol, Gail's career could have been one of the most stable in Hollywood. She owed herself that much.

Mini biography-2
An angelically beautiful leading lady with a demure and melancholy screen persona which reflected a deeper sadness in her real life. Russell attended high school in Santa Monica, California, where she was spotted by a Paramount talent scout and signed to a contract immediately upon graduation. She was given considerable coaching and subsequently appeared in important roles in a number of prestigious Paramount films. However, she suffered from an intense and almost crippling stage fright which she began to combat with alcohol. Conflicts with the law, particularly drunk driving, damaged her reputation and her star began to dim. Befriended by John Wayne, with whom she was later accused (apparently unjustly) of conducting an adulterous affair, she played a few roles in films he produced. But her drinking began to affect not only her work but her appearance and her personal life. Married in 1949 to actor Guy Madison, she was divorced by him in 1954. In 1961, at the age of 36, she died alone in her apartment of acute alcoholism, surrounded by empty liquor bottles. She will be remembered, however, as an incredible doe-eyed beauty who presented a screen image of great innocence and vulnerability.
IMDb mini-biography by Jim Beaver

Mini Biography-3
from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
An ethereal beauty whose personal demons kept her from attaining the screen success once predicted for her, Gail Russell was spotted by Paramount talent scouts shortly after graduating from high school. Finding the prospect of screen stardom appealing, the introverted girl submitted to the arduous process of grooming and training, and made her film debut in Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour (1943), proving that, as was suspected, the camera "loved" her. Russell's supporting role as the fragile object of spectral persecution in The Uninvited (1944) elicited rave reviews; a 1945 follow-up, The Unseen failed to duplicate the previous film's success, but earned additional kudos for Russell. Nonetheless, she suffered dreadfully from stage fright and other insecurities, and became progressively more difficult to handle.

Russell was seen to good advantage in Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (1944, and its 1946 sequel, Our Hearts Were Growing Up teamed with fellow contractee Diana Lynn), Salty O'Rourke, Duffy's Tavern (both 1945), The Bachelor's Daughters (1946), and Variety Girl (1947) before jumping to Republic, where she gave her best-remembered performance as the strong-willed Quaker girl who reforms outlaw John Wayne in Angel and the Badman (1947). She then costarred with Dane Clark in Moonrise (1948), a muddled psychological melodrama directed by Frank Borzage, and was reteamed with Wayne (whose interest in her reportedly extended beyond the soundstage) in Wake of the Red Witch later that year. The Night Has a Thousand Eyes (also 1948), another supernatural thriller, gave Russell a plum role-but it was her last. Films like Song of India, El Paso, The Great Dan Patch, Captain China (all 1949), The Lawless (1950), and Air Cadet (1951) kept her in the public eye, but accomplished little else. She was offscreen for five years, during which time her marriage to actor Guy Madison collapsed, before costarring opposite Randolph Scott in an above-average Western, Seven Men From Now (1956), directed by Budd Boetticher. The Tattered Dress (1957) and No Place to Land (1958) saw Russell reduced to secondary roles, and although she wasn't yet 40 years old, she looked much olderand sadder. In 1961 she top-lined The Silent Call which was a bomb. Russell's dead body was found later that year in her apartment, surrounded by liquor bottles.

Gail Russell, was a beautiful, dark-haired young actress,with sad, dark-blue eyes.
She was emotionally fragile and would have had an even more illustrious career,
if she hadn't sadly succumbed to alcoholism.
She made just 2 memorable films with Duke.

Wake of the Red Witch (http://www.dukewayne.com/showthread.php?t=1989) (1948) .... Angelique Desaix
Angel and the Badman (http://www.dukewayne.com/showthread.php?t=1973) (1947) .... Penelope Worth

In Angel, Duke 'borrowed' Gail from PARAMOUNT
to play his leading lady.
During the filming, Duke's 2nd. wife Chata,
became convinced that Gail and Duke were having an affair!
Gail was only 23 at the time,, but she had a past of emotional instability.
As her career grew, so did her dependency on alcohol.
Duke sensed her insecurity,and took her under his wing!
She said of Duke,
You know the one word that defines Duke, is 'honest'...
He's an honest man.He can't be otherwise.He wanted to protect and take care of her,
and said to her,
Gail, you just got to learn to say no, to some of this sh*t.There is a possibility that Gail did develop a crush, on Duke,
and they did spend a lot of time together,
but Duke has always, maintained, that there was never any wrong-doing.
I believe you Duke !!!!

Duke felt sorry for alcoholic Gail and once again invited her to star in
Wake of the Red Witch..
However she was a painfully shy girl, and celebrity terrified her.
She was just over 20, when she first went to work with Duke, and she
had already been in the industry too long.

she said
Everything happened so fast... I was going to Santa Monica High, and the next thing I knew, I was being groomed for a picture.Adele Mara, another star of the film said,
She was a loner...Gail Russell, certainly was a pretty girl, but she stuck to herself.
I think the only person she ever talked to, was Wayne, and probably just because she had scenes with him.
People in make-up and hairdressing, would talk about her drinking.
The rumour at REPUBLIC that they had to take lots of bottles out of her dressing room everyday .
Sadly, Gail Russell, died of alcoholism in 1961, at the age of 36.

Boy after reading all this on Gail Russell, well the next thing you know i'm going to stop drinking (JW please dont turn in your grave)!
As far as her alcohol consumption was concerned did she drink hard from the moment she woke up? Or the after work drinker I know she drank before going on stage however did that begin every morning? :cowboy:

Hi JOHNWAYNEABE,
Do you know, out of all the biographies, I've complied so far,
this one, I think, is the saddest of all.
Gail, was a young beautiful girl, with the world at her feet,
just a victim of her own success.
Doesn't it make you think, about not going
down the same, slippery slope!!

Gail Russell is my favourite leading lady for Duke. Only two films together, but many memorable moments. Her fragility against Duke's toughness, and yet you get the impression that she is the stronger-minded while his characters are confused and sensitive. Duke is rarely exactly gentle to his leading ladies, but Gail is the exception

In 1947 when Duke did "The Angel and the Badman" in Sedona, Arizona, We never saw Gail Russell with too Much to Drink, But Duke Watched Her like a Hawk! At that that time the only place to get Alcohol was at the Sedona Bar and Pool Hall, and Duke went everywhere with Her. :(

She was a Very Nice Young Lady and only a few years older than us young Kids.

Gail Russell exuded a vulnerability that was obvious both times she played opposite Duke, though Penelope in The Angel and the Badman seemed to be the stronger of the two roles, in part I think because of her character's religious outlook.

As you might imagine, finding links for this beauty was no problem :D !

Very sad story indeed. It's sad cause she suffered from stagefright and had to have that false courage. It is said that even Duke tried to help her. A tragedy that she died at only 36.

They did a salute to her tonight on TCM with a couple of movies with Duke, Angel and the Badman, and Wake of the Red Witch. There was mention of another movie with Batjac Productions that she was in 7 Men from Now. She had a strong shyness of the camera and on stage which lead her to alcohol abuse. Duke tired to help her, but she was to never recover. Gail Russell was a beautiful woman, so sad about her life.

Cheers :cool:

eathanedwards,

Thanks for your starting this thread.
I'm her fan. and in Japan,there are still many fans of her.
Because she had a beauty face of japanese inclination.

When Duke visited Japan, he received a question from the press
"Do you want to starring in a love story?"
Duke said "I had been already starring in a love story. Wake of the Red Witch is"

He kept watching that movie just before his passing.
oh sad story!

regards,

Re: Joan Crawford Dispises John Wayne
Just to clear up a little mistake in this thread, Gail Russell did not commit suicide. This is from IMDB:

On August 26, 1961, Gail was found dead in her small studio apartment in Los Angeles, California. Death was attributed to an alcohol induced heart attack. She was 36 years old

I had heard and read this in other places as well. It was a tragic life she lead. A beautiful, tallented woman with too many demons. Pity.

With all the fine qualities he had, picking women seems not to be one. It was a shame Duke was not having a good time with Gail Russell. She probably would have lived a full life and he would have had a happier 2nd marriage.

It was a shame Duke was not having a good time with Gail Russell.

I think Duke did have a good time when he was with Gail, it was she who was having the bad time.

She was a real corker, and I'm sure she would have made Duke happy,
at least sadly, they could have had a good drink together!!

One reason I like John Wayne so much is that he was terrific with the ladies. Maureen O'Hara most of all, but his other leading ladies too.

Like...Gail Russell in Angel and the Badman.

this is a great film and at the same time very underrated.the chemistry between wayne and russell was great.the best film of the two that they were in.i think they were having an affair when they were making the film.even chata pulled a gun on john wayne during her drinking rage believing he was having an affair.didn't johnwayne offer the role of annie greer in the western seven men from now,because she was'nt getting much acting roles then.by the way she was one beauiful lady.

I have to (respectfully) disagree with the assessment that JW had anything other than a friendly relationship with Gail.

He was supportive of her, because she was in a very fragile state. By this time in his life, he was over that business.

As for Chata pulling a gun on him - she did that more than once, and she was constantly accusing him of sleeping with any woman that even glanced his way, in addition to any mention (by him) of other women, no matter the context.

She was jealous of his ever growing fame, as she had (even before they met) already had her "moment" in the cinematic sun...

Most people associated with BOTH movies they made together assert their eyewitness accounts to JW's & GR's platonic relationship.
