….Jayne Mansfield
Jayne was born Vera Jayne Palmer on April 19, 1933 in Pennsylvania and she is to day, more than 30 years after her death. one of the shining stars of the middle of the last century. Poor Jayne is to day where she always wanted to be, out of Monroe’s shadow.
Most of her fame was build on her relentless, shameless self promotion, she only had two really successful movies and one Broadway hit. Jayne loved Hollywood and every experience it had to offer. Few starlets climbing to the top of stardom embraced the effect that stardom brought as fiercely as Mansfield did. Most stars are complaining earnestly or in pretence the burden fame brings. Jayne never considered it a burden, she wallowed in it. She is one of the most remembered icons of the 50’ies to day. And Jayne deserves it, lets give her that.
I have always had a deep respect for people who live without pretence, people who does not surrender to the numbness of conformity that most of us do.
Thanks for everything Jayne

I saw a movie called Jayne Mansfield’s Car, but it wasn’t really about her. You’ve introduced her to me. What a beautiful woman! I know her daughter is on a TV show and is a very beautiful woman! 🙂
