Russell's contract was owned by Hughes through much of her career, and he squandered her talent in many forgettable films.

Russell first appeared on the charts in 1950 when her duet of "Kisses and Tears" with Frank Sinatra from Double Dynamite was released as a single, and later the soundtrack for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes made it into the Top 10.
