Yup, good ole Jane Russell. However, I note that, while "full figured" was long ago intended to mean "busty or hourglass" it's been co-opted by the "busty - and also hippy, wiggly, jiggly, etc." and now effectively means "fat."
"Curvy," which was the main replacement for "full figured," is going the same way, thanks in no small part to "Real Women Have Curves," a great movie but one in which the women didn't so much have curves as sphericalness. "Womanly" is up next.
