Costars Larry Kert and Jane Russell anxiously await the verdict as producer Harold Prince studies the reviews of Jane’s Broadway debut in Company at her opening night party May 25, 1971, at Thursday’s restaurant. The Hollywood bombshell took over the role of Joanne, succeeding Elaine Stritch in the musical drama. Jane, 22 at the time, is forever remembered for her risqué screen debut as the vivacious vixen in The Outlaw, when her ample cleavage held up the scandalous picture’s release for two years until the censors relented in 1943.
