Jayne Mansfield Featured in Article 'They Tore Down Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot"

I have come across this very interesting website called Zombo's Closet of Horror. Featured on the website is a really fantastic article titled 'They tore down paradise and put up a parking lot'. In the article is a nice lengthy story about Theater manager John DiBenedetto better known as Johnny Dee.

Here is a little exert from the article

I was in awe, especially with the photo of John with Jayne Mansfield; that blew my movie loving mind. That photo was too cool. How many of us can even say that we saw Mansfield in person, nevermind having your picture taken with her! These were some serious photos John told me I could take home and copy for my article. However, the photos were not in the best of condition. Many were cracked and splitting with age. Without asking John (and I should have), I repaired the photos the best I could with archival tape, placed them in plastic sleeves and put them in a black three-ring binder. On the cover I inscribed, using a silver paint pen, Johnny Dee - Poli Palace.

And of course here is that brilliant photo that was mentioned.
