Art by Zoe Mozert.
Zoe Mozert was the only female amongst top 'cheesecake' artists of the 1940s and is ranked alongside George Petty and Alberto Vargas. Her depiction of Jane Russell for this original Mexican poster may have run into trouble with the censors in the U.S. but no doubt Howard Hughes would have approved. One of only two known copies.
