Jayne Mansfield at University of North Carolina 18 October 1964

Movies and More rare photograph of Jayne Mansfield and remembrance of her visit to University of North Carolina. 

Our MoviesAndMore.tv director, Mike Doares, then a University of North Carolina undergrad, has a vivid recollection of Ms. Mansfield's visit to the University's Chapel Hill NC campus on Sunday
October 18 1964. Ms. Mansfield, who had been appearing in a Greensboro NC night club, visited 800 students to help inaugurate the social program of Morrison Residence Hall, a new UNC men's dormitory.


Mike remembers her charming acceptance of a plaque declaring Ms. Mansfield an Honorary Lifetime House Mother, by assuring the crowd of students that "...and I can cook, too". The event was immortalized by the never-before-published photo shown here. Taken by the late Bill Norment, a friend of Mike's, the photo only came to light recently and shows Ms. Mansfield standing next to the famed UNC Victory Bell.
