Jayne Mansfield arrived In El Paso today accompanied by a handsome, dark companion, Nelson Sardelli, and declined to comment on a new romantic interest.
She arrived for a quickie Juarez divorce from muscleman husband Mickey Hargitay.
Wearing a simple yellow dress, brown sable stole and carrying a tiny Chihuahua dog, the glamorous actress said it wouldn't be proper for her to say if she has a romantic interest in anyone right now.
"The reason is, I'm still married," she said.
Sardelli, who was described as her announcer, was extremely attentive to Miss Mansfield.
He wouldn't comment on a rumored romance.
But others in the party hinted that Sardelli is indeed a current romantic interest.
Miss Mansfield was asked if she would marry again.
"Sure," she said. "I can't say definitely now. But in the future I certainly hope to.” Miss Mansfield didn’t say whom she might marry.
Miss Mansfield said she and Mickey, her husband, of five years, could not live harmoniously together.
“Last May I filed suit for the first time in California,” she said. “My husband asked me to withdraw it. So I did.” She explained she went to Rome to make a movie, called “Panic Button.”
While she was in Rome, she filed for a separation suit, but later returned to Mickey.
“Our paths in life might be smoother separately,” she said. “It is better for our children than for us to stay together not in harmony.”
She explained her first suit charged “cruelty,” she said. “I have nothing but respect and admiration for Mickey and I wish him all the success in the world.
“But if you can’t get along together, there is no reason for continuing the marriage.”
She said she does not blame the movies or our careers in the movies for the break in the marriage.
“It’s as easy to be happy in Hollywood following a career there as it is for a bus driver and his wife to be happy anywhere,” she said.
Miss Mansfield has two children by Hargitay. They are Miklos, 4, and Zoltan, 2. The children are with Miss Mansfield’s mother, Mrs. Harry Peers in Dallas. Her daughter Jayne Marie, 12, is in Los Angeles with her first husband, Paul Mansfield.
