Born in New York City, she appeared in seven films from the 1930s through the 1950s. She was far better known as a singer than as an actress, as her singing career was quite extensive.

FilmBy the time she was 16, Russell had signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[2] Her film debut came in Cruisin' Down the River (1953).[5] (Another source says that her "first socko movie appearance was in Lady Be Good" in 1941.)[3] She played a lead role in the 1956 movie Nightmare. RadioOn radio, Russell was the featured female singer on Let Yourself Go on CBS (1944-1945).[6] She also appeared frequently on the syndicated Naval Air Reserve Show.{{r|sies|page1=475}} In 1947, she became a network staff singer on NBC, joining Manor House Summer Party for an eight-week stint as the program's featured singer.[7] TelevisionOn television, she was a regular singer on Club Embassy,[8] Garroway at Large (1949-1951){{r|etvs|page1=379}} and on The Buick-Berle Show on NBC (1953-1955).[9] She also had success on Eddie Cantor's TV program when he liked her so well in a guest appearance that he signed her to a contract.[10] Selected filmography
