If I had to pick my own favourite biography on Jayne Mansfield than Pink Goddess is it. Pink Goddess is an older book like most other Jayne Mansfield books and it even mentions the decapitation myth as if it were fact but I suppose that is expected with the older books.
Each chapter starts with a quote either by Jayne or about Jayne, which I quite like. There are a few rare images however most are the common studio shots. The cover of the book is just lovely. A beautiful shot of Jayne in blue fur against a red backdrop.
Moving on to the biography content. Pink Goddess paints Jayne in a different light to other biographies. Her flaws are not hidden and also the author gets into other aspects of her life where you won't read in any other book. What I like most about Pink Goddess is it really shows the dark, gloominess that was the last year of her life. You can read alot more about her sordid relationship with Sam Brody. It's not a happy chapter, but its the truth and that's all I care to read about, as I'm sure you do too.
If you manage to come across a copy of this book for a good price I suggest you snap it up. You won't be disappointed. Again, this book is a must have for any Jayne Mansfield lover.
