Stage and screen legend Rosalind Russell had it all. She was a unique and pioneering talent that starred in Auntie Mame, His Girl Friday, Gypsy and scores of other memorable films and Broadway shows. Rosalind was also one of the founding members of the USO during World War II. Upon falling ill with severe rheumatoid arthritis later in life, she used her celebrity status to champion the needs of the millions of people suffering from this debilitating condition. Whether getting laughs for her sophisticated comedies, or lauded
for her dignity under duress, the talent and humanity of Rosalind Russell left a legacy that is larger than any screen in Hollywood.
