I was just wondering the name of the "Leading lady" in this 1947 John Wayne movie. I've never watched a John Wayne movie before and so I was surprised I lasted a half hour into this one! I had to look up the leading lady.
I had never heard of her but I knew her lust for John Wayne was real - in the movie - I could sense her lust when she stared into John Wayne's eyes. That was not acting.
John Wayne's wife didn't think so either as her grounds for divorce were based on the claim that Gail Russell had spent the night with John Wayne.
In her first movies - before John Wayne - Gail Russell as a teenager of 18 or 19 - was told by someone on set that Gail should start using alcohol to stop bawling all the time on set.
Why was Gail bawling? She thought the hat that the director was forcing her to wear was an ugly hat!! Also she could only memorize 5 to 6 lines at a time....as she had no previous acting experience...
So then film after film she soon became an alcoholic and she got arrested for drunk driving. She later ran into a store front and she got sued for drunk driving damage.
Later she got sued again for drunk driving damage and by age 36 she was found dead with an empty bottle of vodka next to her and a house full of empty bottles of vodka.

People say that Beer and alcohol is what LAUNCHED CIVILIZATION - that discovering the fermentation as a buzz inspired the mass production of growing grain....
I don't know the details but it doesn't seem too difficult to believe.
Other people say civilization is based on "dopamine addiction" and that is of course what alcoholism is...
Alcohol works by first spiking the sympathetic nervous system, thereby causing a parasympathetic rebound as dopamine bliss.
It's really not that interesting as far as a psychotropic drug is concerned but I guess since it's easily mass produced and therefore based on "supply side economics" - it is easily used and abused....
It's a proven fact that alcohol is the most common cause of brain dementia but you won't find that information easily due to the corporate control of media information. Most people get their information in a passive manner based on whatever "algorithm" delivers it. Newspapers? Radio? Television? Interwebs? ALL controlled by corporate advertising that then is the "customer" of the corporate media outlet... The "consumer" Of the news is the PRODUCT!! Look what product we offer who will buy your advertising offers - we, as a NEWS source, can hand over a great PRODUCT for you.
haha.
And so essentially Gail Russell - born as BETTY Gail Russell out of the Supply Side Company Town of Chicago (built for meat packing) - became a Supply Side victim of the commodity fetish of beauty and dopamine bliss.
Where's the Oxytocin Love Mammalian Bonding you might ask? Our culture is a few steps removed from real Oxytocin love as it's based on the deep right side vagus nerve bliss beyond dopamine and even beyond serotonin!! haha.
Most males never make it that far due to lacking the "staying power" and so their female counterparts never get to "receive" the love which really is from the Yuan Qi energy of the right side of the heart - beyond death and beyond spacetime even.
