Catherine Rosalind Russell (June 4, 1907 – November 28, 1976) was an American actress of stage and screen, perhaps best known for her role as a fast-talking newspaper reporter in the Howard Hawks screwball comedy His Girl Friday, as well as the role of Mame Dennis in the film Auntie Mame. She won all 5 Golden Globes for which she was nominated, and was tied with Meryl Streep for wins until 2007 when Streep was awarded a sixth. Russell won a Tony Award in 1953 for Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Ruth in the Broadway show Wonderful Town (a musical based the film My Sister Eileen, in which she also starred). Russell was known for playing character roles, exceptionally wealthy, dignified ladylike women. She had a wide career span from the 1930s to the 1970s and attributed her long career to the fact that, although usually playing classy and glamorous roles, she never became a sex symbol, not being famous for her looks.

Rosalind Russell (Waterbury, Connecticut, 4 de juny de 1907 − Los Angeles, Califòrnia, 28 de novembre de 1976) fou una actriu de cinema estatunidenca nominada quatre vegades a l'Oscar, potser més coneguda pel seu paper de periodista a la comèdia de Howard Hawks Lluna nova, així com interpretant el paper de La tia Mame tant a Broadway com en pel·lícula. És l'actriu (juntament amb Meryl Streep) que més Globus d'Or ha ontingut, amb cinc. És notable que guanyés cada Globus d'Or cada vegada que n'era nominada. Rossalind Russel va ser la mitjana de set germans en una família benestant en ser el seu pare un prestigiós advocat i la seva mare, una coneguda periodista de modes. Va estudiar en un col·legi catòlic i després va anar a l'American Academy of Dramatic Art de Nova York. A principis dels 30, Russell va començar a fer papers a Broadway fins que el 1934, entra al món del cinema en firmar un contracte amb la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, en una dura pugna amb la Universal. Durant aquella època, va intervenir en diverses pel·lícules amb papers secundaris i no seria fins al seu paper a la pel·lícula de Howard Hawks Lluna nova (1940), quan el nom de Rosalind Russell salta al panorama internacional com a estrella de primer ordre fent parella amb Cary Grant.

Catherine Rosalind Russell war eine US-amerikanische Bühnen- und Filmschauspielerin, die vor allem für ihre Rolle als schlagfertige Zeitungsreporterin in Howard Hawks’ Screwball-Komödie „Sein Mädchen für besondere Fälle“ sowie für die Rolle der Mame Dennis im Film „Tante Mame“ bekannt ist. Sie gewann alle fünf Golden Globes, für die sie nominiert war, und teilte sich die Auszeichnung mit Meryl Streep bis 2007, als Streep ihren sechsten Golden Globe erhielt. Russell gewann 1953 einen Tony Award als Beste Hauptdarstellerin in einem Musical für ihre Darstellung der Ruth in dem Broadway-Musical „Wonderful Town“ (basierend auf dem Film „Meine Schwester Eileen“, in dem sie ebenfalls mitwirkte). Russell war bekannt für ihre Charakterrollen, insbesondere für die Darstellung außergewöhnlich wohlhabender, würdevoller und damenhafter Frauen. Sie blickte auf eine lange Karriere von den 1930er bis zu den 1970er Jahren zurück und führte ihre lange Karriere darauf zurück, dass sie, obwohl sie meist elegante und glamouröse Rollen spielte, nie zu einem Sexsymbol wurde, da sie nicht für ihr Aussehen berühmt war.

Catherine Rosalind Russell (4 giugno 1907 – 28 novembre 1976) è stata un'attrice americana di teatro e cinema, forse soprattutto nota per il ruolo di giornalista dal parlare veloce nella commedia screwball di Howard Hawks His Girl Friday, oltre che per il ruolo di Mame Dennis nel film Auntie Mame. Ha vinto tutti e 5 i Golden Globe per cui è stata nominata, ed è rimasta a pari merito con Meryl Streep per vittorie fino al 2007, quando Streep ha ricevuto un sesto posto. Russell vinse un Tony Award nel 1953 come Miglior Interpretazione di Attrice in un Musical per la sua interpretazione di Ruth nello spettacolo di Broadway Wonderful Town (un musical basato sul film My Sister Eileen, in cui recitò anche lei). Russell era nota per interpretare ruoli caratteristiche, donne eccezionalmente ricche e dignitose e da femminili. Ha avuto una carriera ampia dagli anni '30 agli anni '70 e attribuisce la sua lunga carriera al fatto che, pur interpretando solitamente ruoli eleganti e glamour, non è mai diventata un simbolo sessuale, non essendo famosa per il suo aspetto.
