I do love acting the two seconds that you are in front of the camera - and this is going to sound like I'm complaining, and I don't want that because I'm blessed to even have a job - but there is a lot of down-time when you're just sitting in your trailer. Rene Russo actblesscamera share on social
I had to fend for myself from the time I was 17 years old. I was a high-school dropout. I wasn't quite living on the streets, but I didn't have a lot of hope. Rene Russo dropoutfendhigh Change image and share on social
My mom worked for Lockheed Corp. in Burbank as an inspector of airplane parts. To help make ends meet, Dee, a friend of my mom's from Lockheed, moved in. She was a lovely person and helped with our care for many years. Rene Russo airplaneburbankcare share on social
I've got a drought-tolerant garden; I've got a company - crazy as it sounds, we make yogurt. There are actors who have to act no matter what, but I don't want to do it just for the sake of doing it. Rene Russo actactorcompany Change image and share on social

I didn't know who Avedon was. I was 18 years old. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. I had no idea. Rene Russo 10thavedondrop Change image and share on social
I grew up in Burbank - but not the Burbank of valet parking and TV studios. In the late 1950s, there was a small apartment complex on Elmwood Avenue that rented mostly to families on welfare. I lived there from age 3 to 11 and again from 14 to 18 with my mother, Shirley, and my younger sister, Toni. Rene Russo 1950sageapartment share on social
I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger. Rene Russo ageconsidergive Change image and share on social
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me. Rene Russo acthappenmodel Change image and share on social
