"The picture that couldn't be stopped!" trumpeted the tagline for "The Outlaw," Howard Hughes' fictional tale of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, with Doc Holliday and a little of Jane Russell's cleavage thrown in for good measure. The latter made the film one of the most controversial pictures of its day, and it would take the Hollywood mogul five years to secure the movie a wide release.
Producer and director Hughes had no qualms about using Russell's sex appeal to sell his movie; when it came to picking a young starlet to play her part from a nationwide casting call, Hughes chose Russell because her bust was the most to his liking. Much of the publicity was focused on the 19-year-old making her screen debut, resulting in one of the most famous and controversial images of '40s Hollywood: Jane Russell reclining in a haystack with a gun in her hand,...

What started out as an attempt to cut out unhealthy food and way to relieve stress turned into an obsession that almost killed Christina Rice.
The Addicted To Lovely blogger, 23, became obsessed with clean eating after experiencing digestive issues in college. She believed that cutting sugar, carbs and fat could help her get healthy, so she changed her diet to only eating food that is minimally processed.
“I had read ‘this food is going to do X, Y and Z to your body,’ and I got it in my head that that food was evil, and so I was afraid of it,...

My Little Pony Friends Forever #22
Written by Christina Rice
Art by Jay Fosgitt
Published by Idw Publishing
My Little Pony Friends Forever # 22 has Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie on their way to assist Princess Celestia with the birthday celebration of Princess Luna. It is a slice of life story with Pinkie in the lead as the cake creator for the joyous day. It appears to be a fairly benevolent story with what appears to be low risk silly plot line and funny expressions. For Pinkie Pie, it shows the trying effort of working on a creative project with little direction. But the real star hidden on the sidelines is Princess Celestia. Her desire for everything to be prefect comes from her complex relationship with Princess Luna. There is much hidden remorse with Celestia about the banishment of her sister. The artwork of Jay Fosgitt can come off as too simplistic...

Ann Dvorak, Lee Bowman in Leslie Fenton's Stronger Than Desire Ann Dvorak Q&A with Biographer Christina Rice Pt.1 What sort of approach are you going for in your book? Are you focusing mostly on Ann Dvorak's film work or on her private life — or both? Have you found many people who actually knew Dvorak? I am focusing on both Ann's professional work and her private life. Even though her career as a whole was not extremely notable, it lasted more than two decades and she appeared in over fifty films, not counting her work as an MGM chorus girl. She also made three films as a child, one of which was the 1916 version of Ramona, directed by Donald Crisp — so her body of work spans a period of over thirty-five years. No matter how mediocre some of her movies may have been, she almost always gave strong...

Ann Dvorak The name Ann Dvorak wouldn't ring even a faint bell for most people around at the beginning of the 21st century. Most people, I said — but definitely not everyone. [Ann Dvorak Movie Schedule on Turner Classic Movies.] A while back, author James Robert Parish heard a loud gong when I told him during lunch at a West Hollywood restaurant that I had been working on a q&a with collector-turned-biographer Christina Rice (right), who has been writing Ann Dvorak's life story. "I love Ann Dvorak! I still remember her in I Was an American Spy, when the Japanese villains stick a hose down her throat. I never forgot that!" I haven't watched I Was an American Spy (it will be on TCM at 11 p.m. tonight), but I remember being impressed by Ann Dvorak's work in Mervyn LeRoy's hard-hitting 1932 melodrama Three on a Match, in which she plays a beautiful woman whose life is destroyed by ambition,...
