"Ms Mansfield and Me" Feature Film

Yes, there is a film about Jayne Mansfield being penned as we speak. The script has been submitted to the European éQuinoxe Writers Workshop by Irish script writer Paul Walker (no,not the actor). The project is being supported with development funding from The Irish Film Board.

The film plot According to The Irish Film Television Network 

"'Ms. Mansfield and Me’ tells the story of two brothers attempting to set up a five-star hotel in Tralee during the controversial Jayne Mansfield-debate in 1967. The Hollywood starlet’s scheduled cabaret appearance was cancelled due to the outrage of a local parish priest who persuaded residents of Tralee to rally around him."

If you ask me it sounds a little bit like the Mansfield version of 'My week with Marilyn' as in rather than a story about Jayne it is a small event in her life. I assume most of the story will be fiction but it seems like there may be some facts squeezed into the script too.

The script sounds interesting and unlike the upcoming "Jayne Mansfield's Car" this movie actually has something to do with Jayne. The progress of this movie I think is definitely something to keep an eye on.

Best Article on Jayne's UK visit

OK, so here is another article on Jayne's UK visit brought on by the new upcoming documentary which I have mentioned quite a few times now. This article is the best one so far. It mentions a few things which are new facts to me, if in fact they really are true. One, her becoming a pop star with John Lennon writing her songs and two, her wanting to star in the Broadway production of The Prince and the Showgirl. This article gives a good idea of what will be mentioned in the documentary. Which just makes me all the more excited.

WE LOVE YOU JAYNE

Footage from a clip I made last year for Jaynie's Birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETNESS - Your fans still love you and will continue to do so more and more everyday x x x x x

HAPPY 79TH BIRTHDAY JAYNIE!!!

Today would have been Jayne's 79th Birthday. So let's all have a glass of champagne and raise our glasses and say a little toast for the dear beauty who we miss everyday.

The above images I created when I was running a Jayne Mansfield tumblr page which has long since been removed as I much prefer blogging than photo sharing.

The Legendary Jayne Mansfield Series of Mini Books

On the eve of Jayne Mansfield's 79th Birthday I am proud to announce a new project I have been working on which has finally been made possible through self publishing website Lulu. I have started a range of Jayne Mansfield mini books titled The Legendary Jayne Mansfield and issue number 1 "Pinup Queen" is now available for purchase. The series of books are not for profit, instead I wanted to bring something fun and different to all Jayne Mansfield fans with a price only covering the cost of printing. Adding to the cost and value of these books are not only black and white images but also stunning colour photographs too. Issue number one features famous pinup shots of Jayne. As I am not a schooled author my aim is to feature more images than text. Also I would like to feature not only well known images of Jayne but also the more rare shots too. All future issues/volumes will feature different topics while focusing on the subject of Jayne Mansfield. I have not yet decided how often I will be issuing the books, whether it be monthly or bimonthly however I can tell you that issue number two is sure to be better than the first with the subject being Jayne & Mickey. 

I will keep you posted on all upcoming issues.

"Pinup Queen" is only available at http://www.lulu.com/shop/ashley-fulton/the-legendary-jayne-mansfield-issue-number-1-pinup-queen/paperback/product-20037629.html

Jayne Mansfield collection for sale

I have just come across this collection of Jayne Mansfield memorbilla for sale on ebay at the moment. There are some lovely bits and pieces. The asking price is a little silly though considering you can get most those items individully for cheaper, well at least these days you can thanks to the internet.
