The Pink Palace 44 Years Ago

The 5th of August 1968 is the day Jayne's beautiful pink palace was sold for the first time after her death. The house sold for $185,000 and included in the sale was 264 of her personal items which were unable to sell individually at auction. I find it very sad that all those item were not given to her family and just tossed in with the house as a bonus for the buyer.

    I agree- everytime I read about Jayne's things being sold along with the house, I get very sad and a little angry even. I wish Mickey or Matt or Vera would've packed up everything to put into storage to save for the kids. I remember reading that Mariska would go on eBay in search of her mom's stuff. Instead the next residents, when moved out, took Jayne's things with them and passed it down to their own family! What a nice way to respect Jayne's family by doing that. Ugh!

      Yes, it is very tragic Jeannette. The family of the lady who kept all of Jayne's belongings from the house eventually sold them at auction in the 90's. Could you imagine if Jayne's kids brought somethings from that auction. They really should not have to buy their Mum's belongings all these years later. Things should have been dealt with properly to begin with. It's all quite sad.
