Jayne Mansfield by Ormand Gigli

This snap is a real treat for our readers. It is a gorgeous early pinup shot of Jayne taken in 1956 during her run on Broadway in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? Gigli's photos of Jayne were published in many magazines in 1956. His photography of Jayne was used for the cover of mini collectors pocket magazine simply titled 'Jayne' as well as the life size collectible pinup poster. This particular image is stunning. It shows a topless Jayne posing in front of a room divider holding two hand held fans to cover her bust. The backdrop is a lovely pale pink, and to make the image even more intriguing you can see part of the room behind the photographers back drop with her gorgeous little companion Philip the chihuahua strutting himself into view.

The image is featured in Gigli's book 'Girls in the Window: and Other Stories' which was released in November 2013 and can be purchased through Amazon
