    Jayne Mansfield had a helluva lot more talent than the movie industry allowed us to see. The proverbial "they" only wanted her to be a Marilyn Monroe clone, and she was so much more than that.

    She was no dumb blond by nature. She was an educated lady who also played piano and violin. Is was just a way in those days for some women to get famous in Hollywood. God bless her soul.

    • @gilliankew
      @gilliankew 3 года назад +8

      Any good looking woman had to play the dumb blond to get ahead. The actresses who succeeded in being taken seriously then were generally more “handsome” than pretty and not “voluptuous”. Hollywood was then (and to some extent still is) all about the male gaze.

      No one does. And her accident had nothing to do with the age of the driver. At 20 many men were driving tanks and flying planes in the armed forces. And at 20 I was responsible for the lives of 30 patients on an acute medical ward.
      I expect the accident was about judgment and reaction times but we’ll never know. It was certainly a tragedy.

    • @SR-iy4gg
      @SR-iy4gg 3 года назад +4

      True, but she was in a downward spiral. She'd been divorced three times, had countless affairs, became an alcoholic, and was in drunken brawls. She certainly wasn't headed in a positive direction in life. If she had lived, her children, most likely, would have been taken away from her before too much longer. She already wasn't raising the fifth child, and her second husband had custody of the three she had with him, even though they were still living with her. She was accused of allowing her oldest daughter to be beaten by a boyfriend.

    While he was a writer for Jack Parr on The Tonight Show, Dick Cavett wrote an intro for Parr to read when introducing Jayne. "Ladies and gentlemen, here they are, Jayne Mansfield!". I met her once backstage at the Casino Royale in Washington D.C. when I was a young theatrical agent. She had been reading and wore glasses. She was the loveliest, most charming and sweetest person, and I was immediately smitten. Tragically, she died in a horrific automobile accident just a short time later. I have such a fond memory of her.

      I have a feeling it's about the same as before. Most of the time, they're most known for the movies, and then you don't know about the plays unless you happen to be a Broadway follower or read something biographical about them. A lot of the stars from years ago weren't in plays, or not much while in movies. Some started out more in theater or went to that as their movie career waned.

      These words of yours are important: "who you know are going to die unexpectedly." They are the famous people. There were non-famous contestants who died within a few years of their appearances. Google can't show you an obituary from the 1950s or 1960s unless it was newsworthy and circulated nationally. The really strange feeling you get reflects only some of the tragedy.

    In the early morning hours of 29 June 1967, on a narrow country road near a Louisiana swamp, a grey 1966 Buick Electra glided through the dark on its way to New Orleans. The road ahead was obscured by a white haze laid down by a distant mosquito fogger which prevented the car’s driver from discerning the presence of a slow-moving tractor-trailer ahead of him. At approximately 2:15 a.m., the Electra slammed into that truck, then slid under it. All three adults sitting in the car’s front seat were killed instantly, but surprisingly, the three children riding in the back seat were cushioned from serious harm. Dead at the scene were the driver, Ronnie Harrison; actress Jayne Mansfield; Mansfield’s boyfriend Sam Brody; and Mansfield’s small dog. Three of Mansfield’s five children (Mariska, 3; Zoltan, 6; and Miklos Jr., 8; all fathered by her second husband, Mickey Hargitay), survived the accident. Although Mansfield’s actual mode of death was gruesome, she was not beheaded. According to the police report on the accident, “the upper portion of this white female’s head was severed.” Her death certificate notes a “crushed skull with avulsion (forcible separation or detachment) of cranium and brain.” One thinks of a beheading as the neck’s being sliced through, causing the head to be separated from the body, but that is clearly not what happened here. Scalping is perhaps a closer description of Mansfield’s fate, but even that word does not accurately reflect the cranial trauma she suffered, because scalping victims at least retain an intact skull. The Angel of Death did not afford Mansfield this luxury: Her skull was cracked or sliced open, and a sizeable piece of it was carried away.
    As gruesome as this mode of death was, it at least had the benefit of being quick. Mansfield probably never felt what happened to her, and because of the sharply reduced visibility conditions on the road that night, she likely had only an instant of “We’re going to crash!” shock to cope with before the impact.

      Very informative, most likely accurate, and oh so painful to read.
      Incidentally, Jayne was originally a dark-haired beauty. What I found most attractive about her (other than her obvious voluptuous body) were her eyes, which were so expressive and yet gentle. Truly a remarkable beauty and charming person too.

She said early, they lightened my hair & tightened my dresses & that's the way it was. She went with that & ran with it making as much as she possibly could out of that. Good for her & her scrappiness paid off for her daughter Mariska eventually.

      A trial lawyer who knew Dorothy Kilgallen in 1964 and 1965 was videorecorded saying he saw her in New York drinking vodka (not gin).
      Others have pointed out that vodka was her favorite drink. Many other upper-middle-class people drank it in the 1960s.
      I have seen that same color photograph from the party immediately after the premiere of Pillow Talk in 1959. Rock Hudson is lighting her cigarette. But she could have smoked one cig as a facade for the photographer.
      Her son recently said on Facebook that she had tried smoking and hated it. In her Voice of Broadway newspaper column in January of 1964, she had a lot to say about U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry’s announcement (during that month) that cigarette smoking was dangerous.
      We have another clue that Hudson, Kilgallen and Tallulah Bankhead put on a front for photographers plural at the event in 1959. (More than one photo exists). The photos don’t give you any clue of tension or hostility between Bankhead and Kilgallen. It existed, alright. Way back in 1949 and 1950, Bankhead got very angry about some Voice of Broadway items about her. A stage actor / comedian named George Hopkins knew both ladies and was audio-recorded in 1997 discussing Bankhead’s hatred of her.
      Bankhead got along very well with Kilgallen’s husband Richard Kollmar. They worked together in the theater in 1956. Both were heavy smokers. By that time, the marriage of Kollmar and Kilgallen was a marriage of convenience and they did not spend much time together as a couple compared to five years earlier. So Kollmar’s smoking might not have mattered very much to his wife.
      Of course, few people knew in 1956 that burning cigarettes left an invisible aura inside a five-story brownstone with expensive furniture.
