It was absolutely impossible to dislike Miss Mansfield. Men were captivated by her curves and women were captivated and charm by her innocence and the fact that she hauled all five of her children around wherever she went and always talked about them as much as or if not more than herself
Jayne Mansfield had an IQ that was 'through the roof' - she was startlingly intelligent. Also, she had a great sense of humor and loved playing sexpot role. If you check out her films, she is basically an accomplished comedian.
Pierre Salinger is the guest panelist -- President Kennedy's press secretary and later a Senator from California for half a year replacing Senator Clair Engel when he died.
You Tube has three videos of Jayne as a guest on WML. From the hair and clothing my guess is that this visit to the show is from maybe 1965 to 1967. I'm positive it's from the 60's though the earlier ones are from 50's. I think one was 1956, the other not too long afterward.
Mansfield was a lovely Lady,very fine&very underrated actress:a strong presence so underused because of the puritanism&prejudice of people against sexy! But we couldn't even make a comparison between the 2! Monroe was a Super Star,the only one who really had made it,even over Harlow! Was in demand for major A list pictures&after 1956,she wouldn't even much care about them,anymore!Yet they kept on coming:despite illness,demons&disappointments, she still is the most recognizable face in the World!
You know, for three of the four Jayne Mansfield WML mystery-guest appearances on RUclips, she was at the time appearing in the New York area in a play (WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? with Martin Gabel, BUS STOP, and GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES).
After an evening appearance on June 28, 1967, Mansfield, and three of her children - Miklós, Zoltán and Mariska set out in a 1966 Buick Electra 225 for New Orleans, where Mansfield was scheduled to appear for a morning television interview. On June 29 at approx: 2:25 am, on U.S. Highway 90, east of the Rigolets Bridge, the car crashed into the rear of a semi-trailer. Mansfield and 2 others in the front seat were killed instantly, the children in the backseat survived with only minor injuries.
@sailin1934 I think I agree with you. Though Marilyn was a better actress, I like Jayne better as a person and in looks. Though I'm not sure if she was more classy, she did do a lot of playboys and some strip shows.
I agree. MM looked her absolute best at the time of her passing. Jayne was definitely imitating MM in this segment (dress and all), which is sad because she was just a good person as Miss Jayne Mansfield.
@thadxxx Her daughter is Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order: Sprecial Victims Unit. She was very nice but her career towards the end was based mostly off of publicity stunts. I think she sold herself short on these live appearances.
Maybe true, that she is known today because her daughter is Mariska Hargitay. i remember her from way back, she was Famous in the 50's and 60's, long before her daughter was even known. Her daughter is known today because of her mother.
A bit of morbid trivial. her daughter, Mariska Hargitay, who stars in Law & Order SVU, still has a scar on her head as she was in the back seat of the car sleeping when Jayne was decapitated in the accident.
@1967mansfield If I had the choice between these two ladies I would always prefer Jayne Mansfield. Maybe MM was the better actress - I don't want decide that - but Jayne had the better body and much more sexual attraction. She was tall, athletic and voluptuous - exactly my kind of woman.
I actually read somewhere that it probably wasn't true. The biographer or whomever said it disputed the high IQ based on the predicaments she got herself into. Who knows.
Normally I hated the way Jayne dressed in this era and her hair was usually a mess of two or three wigs stacked on one another but I have to say her makeup etc looks pretty good here if a bit dated. By 1966-67 a slightly more natural less sprayed hair look was coming in and this do was about 1964-65 but she does look good here despite her alcohol problems.
FWIW, Marilyn Monroe wasn't stupid, just uneducated. She grew up in foster homes, transferred schools a lot, and never went to high school. She still used to read for pleasure, and read a lot of serious authors of fiction like Tolstoy, as well as philosophers. She was once cautioned over some of the authors she was reading, as they were very leftist, and it was during the McCarthy hearings, but she refused to stop reading them, just said she'd be more discreet about reading them in public.
Marilyn was a very bright woman. She ran her own Production Company. She dropped out of the 10th grade in High School to marry and not have to return to an orphanage.
interesting the "wolf whistles and loud clapping" because by 1966 and actually for a few years, mansfield was a curiosity piece joke, b and c level movies, dinner theatre and stage shows and so on...
@@lancedukel3436 Jayne couldn't get arrested near and at the end of her career. She played taverns in England... not London, but the blue collar sticks. Her very last gig was Gus Stevens' night club in Biloxi. I believe she started out with potential, talent and wit, poking fun at sex, but in the end, became the joke.
i know i will be thrown under the bus for this, but i actually preferred her to miss monroe. i thought marilyn in her later years let herself go in her appearance and her bouts with drugs and alcohol did not help her appearance, i think jayne carried herself with a little more style and was better looking. fire away, but it's just my opinion.
It's funny how much her daughter looks like her, but doesn't move like her. In still pictures, they look alike, but in motion, they are so different. I wonder if that's Mariska Hargitay's deliberate attempt to distance herself from her mother's "sex symbol" legacy, or if it's just the result of losing her mother when she was so young, and thus not being able to observe her.
va,va,va voom! (as Ed Norton would say) of course that was all an act. in real life, she was an accomplished concert pianist who gave it up for the easy money. a no brainer choice, i guess.
In defense of Mr. Daly, this statement appears to be entirely false. Can you point out a single moment before 2:46? Even then, it appears to be but a momentary glance in the general direction.
Don't worry, Marilyn wouldn't be within 100 miles of Jayne, unless Jayne pulled one of her photobombs and crashed Marilyn like she had done previously.
Her very 1st appearnace on this show...in 1957...BEFORE ..WSSRH....she had such and innocence and genuine quality. After that movie opened...she became a publicity hound...doing ANYTHING to garner attention. And this..her last appearance..she was a joke..."what animal do I look like"... she pushed away her talent (Broadway leading lady) to what she felt would get her BIG FAME. pity..she was talented.....typical Hollywood story....
como marilyn monroe, hizo papeles de tonta, cuando en realidad era casi un genio, esta actriz que murio en un fatal accidente de trafico en 1967, tenia un coeficiente intelectual equivalente y superior al de einstein de 134, pero prefirio ser tonta, imitar a marilyn, usar sus ropas en peliculas y enseñar siempre su parte trasera en fotografias , un talento desperdiciado,
Jayne and Marilyn had what the other wanted. Jayne had a husband and beautiful children. Marilyn loved children but I think was infertile. Marilyn was an A-list starlet(now an obsolete word) but Jayne's talent and exposure was marginalized. Jayne also had talent and a sense of humor. Marilyn wanted children because of the horror of her own upbringing.
Marilyn did love children but was not infertile. She had many abortions which caused internal scarring that blocked her fallopian tubes. This resulted in several ectopic pregnancies. Prior to her fame in movies, Marilyn had an unplanned pregnancy and gave birth to a child. She was pressured to put the child up for adoption. She was haunted by this decision for the rest of her life. Jayne destroyed her career with alcohol and drug abuse. Jayne made some powerful enemies at 2oth Century Fox. She was frequently pregnant which was in violation of her contract. Jayne had some hits with " The Girl Can't Help It" "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter" and "The Wayward Bus" but Fox stopped promoting her. She was never cast in an A list movie again. No properties were ever sought or bought for her. Fox held her hostage to a 7-year contract and farmed Jayne out to low budget B movie loan outs. Fox pocketed the loan out fee and Jayne got her regular salary. Her movie career was ruined. Jayne ruined the rest of her career with too much-overblown publicity, publicity stunts, and then her destructive behavior.
A beautiful lady in every way------R I P. Jayne
It was absolutely impossible to dislike Miss Mansfield. Men were captivated by her curves and women were captivated and charm by her innocence and the fact that she hauled all five of her children around wherever she went and always talked about them as much as or if not more than herself
Aws she’s so precious & beautiful. RIP🌹❤️
Jayne Mansfield was an all around beautiful lady. Beautiful in looks, beautiful in personality.
She's so precious -3
Jayne was also talented-she played the violin and piano, and most of all gave birth to the beautiful and talented Mariska Magdalena Hargitay.
She was a total beauty.
This video is sad to watch, since she died shortly afterwards in that car crash.
I agree.
Jayne made Bennett's day.
Jayne Mansfield had an IQ that was 'through the roof' - she was startlingly intelligent. Also, she had a great sense of humor and loved playing sexpot role. If you check out her films, she is basically an accomplished comedian.
Even her signature is stacked. :)
They should bring this show back. It would be fun!
R.i.p. jaynes mansfiled
Oh wow she looks beautiful!
I love her hair and dress!
She was such a beautiful lady!
She's so cute!
I actually see a lot of Jayne in Mariska, especially facially. Both beautiful women.
She was booked to play Westbury the week of this show. I live near the Music Fair there. It was a tent then-it's an actual theater now.
just found out this is my cousin ! She is so gorgeous !!
Lucky to be related to such an amazing woman.
Pierre Salinger is the guest panelist -- President Kennedy's press secretary and later a Senator from California for half a year replacing Senator Clair Engel when he died.
Wow she was beautiful
One gets the impression that Bennett blushes easily.
I think it was Mark Twain (I don't feel like looking it up) who said man was the only animal that blushes, or needs to.
I will always love Jayne more than any woman

Such a sad day. I was about 7 months old when she died. Dear beautiful woman
She was not decapitated. That's an myth.
sweiland75 , nearly.
@sailin1934 I think I agree with you. Though Marilyn was a better actress, I like Jayne better as a person and in looks. Though I'm not sure if she was more classy, she did do a lot of playboys and some strip shows.
she could be any mans field
Wow... she is really imitating Marilyn in this segment! Compare to the What's My Line episode with her from 10 years earlier...
I agree. MM looked her absolute best at the time of her passing. Jayne was definitely imitating MM in this segment (dress and all), which is sad because she was just a good person as Miss Jayne Mansfield.
She kissed Bennett on the LIPS! Oooh, I wonder what Phyllis had to say about that!
"Get a blood test?"
OMG she sounds exactly like Marilyn Monroe. Great documentary on Jayne on RUclips
I could lose my head over this lady. Hmmm, wait a minute.
i took a huge shit on the pitchers mound in Fenway once!
@thadxxx Her daughter is Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order: Sprecial Victims Unit. She was very nice but her career towards the end was based mostly off of publicity stunts. I think she sold herself short on these live appearances.

I knew about her since my childhood. I was born 7 months before she died. Beautiful woman.
Jayne Mansfield Ji were seemingly rather great.
A bit of morbid trivial. her daughter, Mariska Hargitay, who stars in Law & Order SVU, still has a scar on her head as she was in the back seat of the car sleeping when Jayne was decapitated in the accident.
Jayne wasn't decapitated. That was just a rumor. Her wig was stuck in the windshield and she was slightly scalped, but not decapitated.
whata lady =] plz make more of these god

Jayne's IQ was one of the highest in Hollywood. Go figure.
I actually read somewhere that it probably wasn't true. The biographer or whomever said it disputed the high IQ based on the predicaments she got herself into. Who knows.
There was only one source- Jayne- well, two if you count her publicist- for Jayne's 165 IQ.
dallas8106 lol That's not much of an argument against a high IQ. :)
Charlotte Tan A shame Jayne's no longer around. Think of what she could do with that great mind. Cure ebola, colonize Mars...
That's a myth

Jane also was "natural"- no plastic surgery, she worked out like a fiend….

She said she took more after her father, Mickey Hargitay.
July 1966, the year before she died.
I think this show was so fixed. But at least we got to see a lot of great celebrities from those days - the 50's and 60's in particular.
Hubba Hubba!
She sounds like Marilyn!!
She died the following year? I wonder if that 'breathy' voice of Monroe and Mansfield was deliberate.
Feel like Jayne was trying to act like Marilyn and look like Brigitte Bardot
How many times was she on this show?
Wow, put a blonde wig on Mariska Hargitay and she would look exactly like her mom!
No.
this looks more like early '67.
va,va,va voom! (as Ed Norton would say)
of course that was all an act. in real life, she was an accomplished concert pianist who gave it up for the easy money. a no brainer choice, i guess.
Not exactly. Mariska doesn't have that incredible rib-cage.
In defense of Mr. Daly, this statement appears to be entirely false. Can you point out a single moment before 2:46? Even then, it appears to be but a momentary glance in the general direction.
I know very little about her, especially since she died before I was born, but I can't help thinking that her personality there is a put on.
Jayne and Marilyn were beautiful!!!! but Jayne more!!
It would've been amazing if Marilyn Monroe had been on this show :)
Don't worry, Marilyn wouldn't be within 100 miles of Jayne, unless Jayne pulled one of her photobombs and crashed Marilyn like she had done previously.

Mansfield was OK, Monroe was better, but the one that puts them both in the shade is the great Jean Harlow, the original Blonde Bombshell.
Harlow was ugly. She had a big nose, and too false looking teeth. She had a horrible voice, very annoying.

Of Course
She sounds like Jacquline Kennedy.
@Dwayne31531 she died in the 60's
pamela anderson could portray her in a film bio
No. Jayne Mansfield Ji were far superior unto that pamela person. Rather.
Hard not to. Should have given him a ladder to see over them.
What yearwas this?
'66 I think...
this show is so contrived!
She appears rather intoxicated here!
Эта женщина сплав Бордо с Монро.
She looks like her daughter

this is when she was a joke...check out her earlier appearance on this show..when she was classy
Jayne never had class, and was always considered a joke.
I prefer Jayne over Marilyn. Marilyn was too overrated and still is.
xxcharmed1xx , maybe but she was very good.
Yes, MM is a legend. Jayne lived under a rock, and is completely forgotten.
No comparison...marilyn could act

WTF
ugh Mansfield is such a shoddy imitation of Marilyn Monroe. Funny that Paris Hilton tries for Monroe but comes off as worse than Mansfield.
