Virginia Russell (born December 16, 1944) is an American singer and neighbor of Johnnie Ray. In 1954, Russell and Ray made their first major motion picture, There's No Business Like Show Business as part of an ensemble cast that included Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe. Her career in her native United States began to decline in 1957 at the age of 13, and the American record label dropped her in 1960.
